I had one for awhile.
I'm more of a bolt guy.
The thing I liked about 24's and most other 22's of that era is that they are sleeker.
Now my 34 that's a keeper for me.
Congratulations on getting what you wanted.
I'll dig and see if I have pictures.
I hate 22's......HATE THEM !!!!!
This one wouldn't let me walk out without it just this week.

Love it. Those and the follow on Model 241 are great guns. Lots of fun to shoot also. Great case you have there. You'll sleep better knowing that rifle is now in your possession and not for sale somewhere.

Does the rifle use a loading gate in the stock ?

Yes it does, in conjunction with withdrawing the tube from the butt enough to expose the opening in the stock.

That's a beautiful rifle CZU. I can really understand your feelings about an old classic like that. Just think in less than five years that rifle will be one hundred years old and still be very viable.
My lifetime want was an 1890 Winchester pump in .22 Long Rifle. I have had several 1890s in short, long and WRF, but I have never seen a long rifle in the condition that I wanted for what I wanted to pay. I found this one at Tulsa in November and it is near perfect. When I picked it up and looked it over I knew I was going to take it home. I didn't even care what it cost and it was a ridiculous price. It was made in 1926 and is crisp as new. I fully know why you bought that pretty rifle.

That is an awesome find wundudnee, looks perfect to me. Mine has a few warts but what are you to do when you look forever and finally find the "one"? You pull the trigger and take it home.

That's a beautiful 24 and I love the case. I found one in 2006. The date code on it is June '22. It's the center one in the picture. Top one is a Win 1906 made in 1906. Bottom one is a first year Winchester 74 made in 1939. All three are in .22 Short.

I've got a Winchester 74, LR. Got "patina". Something I found out from a photo of one with the origiinal hang tag on it saying to load the rifle the safety should be on "F". Don't ask me if that's true, but it was on the hang tag. I can't see how the safety would interfere with it; I assume you'd directed to chamber the first round with the safety on Fire. This isn't general knowledge, and I've only seen it once, maybe on this forum, can't remember. Since seeing that, I chamber the first round with the safety disengaged, though. Mine is an accurate rifle; a little heavy but it's quality built. Not the prettiest .22 rifle around.
When I was a kid, I carried a Model 74 loner for a couple of years. So my formative shooting years were affected by this rifle. I thought mine would shoot all .22s, but I don't know that for sure.

If the striker is Uncocked (fired) on the 74 and you place the safety on SAFE,,and then pull the breech bolt to the rear to cock the action and/or feed another cartridge...the action will lock up.
It will require removal of the bolt from the back of the recv'r & disassembly to untangle it.
The bigger issue is that very likely the small fragile lug on the firing pin that keeps it in line where it's supposed to be inside the bolt will be damaged or broken off.
If the striker is Cocked,,the Safety can be on either SAFE or FIRE ,,and the bolt can be retracted rearward w/o any damge to the mechanism.
That fragile piece of the firing pin,,that small lug,,is the most troublesome part of the 74.
Replacement firingpins,,new ones,,came with that lug slightly oversize to be fitted to the rifle.
The fitting was to allow the fired pin protrusion to be enough to detonate the cartridge but not enough for the tip of the FP to strike the chamber edge and cause a burr.
The tip of the firing pin is also fitted to the breech face of the bolt by filing/stoning a very slight clearance on the top edge.
That burred chamber edge damage shows up anyway on alot of these from dry firing,,the small lug takes a battering and allows the tip of the pin to eventually reach the chamber edge.
Feeding/extraction problems result as can misfires.
The other problem is usually the rocker(carrier) adj screw on the bottom of the recv'r. A small adj in that screw can make the difference in taking up any slack in it's motion that is defeating smooth operation.
The Rem M24 are great rifles.
FN made their version of the Browning design as well for sale in Europe. Eventually for sale in N America post WW2 as the FN/Browning 22 semi auto rifle.
That's a really great example. Beautiful rifle.
IIRC
The Model 24 should be shot with StdVel ammo only.
The upgraded Model 241 is OK with HS ammo

I'm not familiar with this model. It looks like a semi-auto? Does it eject out the top?

It is a semi-auto and does eject from the bottom. Just like the FN 22 auto and the Browning SA-22. This design has been around for over 100 years.

Not much I can add on your rifle.
I had a case like yours for a Winchester 97. I believe it was a Red Head.

I've got one made in 1924 (I think I remember) with a Marbles aperture rear sight. Shoots standard velocity ammo like it was made yesterday. Hopefully I'll be around to post a picture of it when it turns 100.

Nostalgia
Thank you so much for sharing your story of the
Remington Model 24 .22lr and also for the pictures.
I really like the nostalgic advertisement. I have the
Remington Mdl 12 .22lr pump action, now I got to
find a Rem Mdl 24.
What an inspiring Thread! Now I have to find and
go target practice with my Rem Mdl 12 (with Std
Vol .22lr only) and my Winchester Mdl 74 .22lr
semi-auto Farm Truck rifle. Both are well taken
care of now, and shot from time to time.
Thanks again.
