Anyone shoot a 24 gauge?
 
I am just curious if anyone here shoots a non Parker 24 gauge. I once owned a Darne but I sold in several years ago.

I had a Belgian single barrel 24 gauge forget if it had a name or not but never fired it . And I had a box of shells for it .

I have a single barrel 24 ga. I ve shot it but it just hangs on the wall for several years now...the 24 ga in a double barrel would be just the ticket if I had one..charlie

Talk about rare as hens teeth, try finding a 24 gauge.

I used to own a remington 1893 single shot in 24 ga sold the gun and kept the shells made by Fiocchi.

I have a box of brass around here somewhere. I bought them in case I find a nice 24 gauge gun.

While most of the North American 24-gauge shells I've seen are UMC and later Remington, Stadt states in his book that Winchester made a run of RANGERs post WW II. This full box just sold in the recent Ward's Auction for $78.

Winchester also offered their REPEATER shell in 24-gauge loaded from 1905 to 1921 and NPEs a bit longer.

Dave: If anyone knows shells its Doc Stadt. Had him for a graduate class. After class we would BS in his office about Trap shooting, guns and shells. Really cool guy

I still have 800 new paper hulls as well
As over shot cards and wads. Never know when I might end up with another 24 gauge.

There was at least one at the Vintagers. i didnt see it , but a gent was at the RST tent buying some shells--I think the shells were Fiocchi's.
