Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 24 was a double-barrel shotgun designed as a budget-friendly, utilitarian side-by-side to compete with foreign models, and it was discontinued in the late 1950s. The Model 24 was introduced in 1939, just before the United States entered World War II, as a "poor man's Model 21". It was intended to be a simple, affordable, and durable shotgun for hunting and putting food on the table. The Model 24 was a hammerless, side-by-side shotgun with a single selective trigger and automatic ejectors. It featured blued steel barrels with a single steel bead sight and chambers measured 2 5/8 inches. Approximately 116,000 Model 24 shotguns were manufactured before it was discontinued from the Winchester catalog in the late 1950s. The Model 24 is often remembered as a utilitarian and reliable shotgun, a solid choice for hunters seeking a no-frills, durable firearm.

The Winchester Model 24 side-by-side shotgun went into production in 1939 and stayed in the line until 1958. The Model 24 was intended to compete with the likes of the Stevens 311 and Savage/Fox Model B as an affordable, utility side-by-side. It was reasonably successful in the market place and a total of over 116,200 were manufactured. The Model 24 is a true hammerless gun, as opposed to having concealed hammers like most double guns, since it is striker fired. It was produced only as a field grade gun with blued receiver and barrels, wide 7/16" raised solid rib, uncheckered black walnut stock with lacquer finish, semi-pistol grip (a straight hand stock could be ordered), double triggers, and spring powered extractors that elevated the shells when the gun was opened. Available gauges were 12, 16, and 20, with 12 gauge being the most common. Barrel lengths of 26", 28" and 30" were offered in 12 gauge, while 16 and 20 gauge guns could be had with 26" or 28" tubes. The 12 gauge gun reviewed here, owned by Guns and Shooting Online Technical Advisor Gordon Landers, has 30" barrels with 2-3/4" chambers and is bored Mod./Full, which is typical of guns with 28" and 30" barrels. 26" barrels were choked IC/Mod. The forged steel receiver body of the Model 24 is rounded.
But, unlike more sophisticated round action guns, such as the Ruger Gold Label (see our Gold Label review on the Product Review Page) that tend to be exceptionally trim, the Model 24 is very broad across the action body. The barrel breeches of most double guns are considerably wider than (and overhang) the sides of the receiver, but the receiver of the Model 24 is actually slightly wider than, and encloses the lower half of, the barrels and gives the gun a decidedly unusual appearance.
