Straight grip 24..20 gauge..95% ?? I'll take it !

I have to confess that there's a certain charm in a M 24, especially when you consider the market it was created for.

Winchester catalog lists straight grip as an option..

What Winchester catalog offers a straight grip on a Model 24? I looked through every Winchester catalog I have from 1939 that introduces the Model 24 in 12-gauge to December 1955 and none offer the model 24 with a straight grip. They all offer straight grips on Model 12s & 42s.

I questioned the stock before I bought it..As follows..Shotgun World...Shotgun Forum.. Chuck hawks.com..A member said he would email me the page from Winchester if I wanted it. Not that big a deal. There are others available...so I doubt this lone 20 was the only straight grip in the world . A couple more said a pad could be ordered as well....So hate it all you want..I liked it..and FWIW..the price was $550...

I've got two 24s in 12 gauge and though both say M&F they are really IC&F which is the perfect combination. What I can't understand is why they did not at least put a rough checkering on the wood as all of the others did with even their lower grades, i.e. Stevens, Fox Sterlingworth, Parker Trojan, Ithaca Nitro Special, etc. It could not have added too much to the cost that it would not have been competitive especially with the Winchester name.
