What is the company name on the receiver? From 1940 to 1946, that was the J. Stevens Arms Co. No. 22-410 with the Tenite stock and forearm. After WW-II Savage Arms Corp. consolidated their firearms operations at their old Stevens factories in Chicopee Falls. In the 1947 Savage/Stevens/Fox/Springfield catalogue the gun was still the Stevens No. 22-410. In the 1948 and 1949 Savage/Stevens/Fox catalogues the gun was the Stevens Model 22-410, still with the Tenite stock. I don't have the 1950 Savage/Stevens/Fox catalogue, but by 1951, the gun was stocked in American Walnut and called the Savage Model 24.
Beautiful work. kind of smacks of Leonard Mews to my eyes.

A lot of potential there for some custom metal work to be done. I like it. ,,but don't know who's work it may be. Kind of the same idea as using a Savage 219 as the late John Madole did here. http://milpas.cc/rifles/ZFiles/Manufactu...T%20RIFLE..html

If Savage would reintroduce the 219 looking like Mr. Madole's, I know I'd be willing to buy one. I wish I'd had the foresight to upgrade the one I owned in that fashion.

Try a couple of the Winchester 000 .410 buckshot loads in that and a few slugs, just to see where it throws them (mine shoots the slugs right near the .22 WRM sight, just at 30 yards instead of 100). You never know when a rogue bull bee will turn on ya!
Actually I'm surprised that stock doesn't ATTRACT carpenter bees. It sure got my attention!

When I was in High School, I wanted one of these, until I picked one up at a gun store---too heavy!! Could never figure out why it was made so heavy. Nice stock work. Makes my eyes cross to look at the checkering.
