POOR MAN'S MODEL 21-ALSO KNOWN AS THE CLUB

[charlie cleveland]

for the money a 24 would be hard to beat and a rugged gun they are...charlie

[J. A. EARLY]

They are really ugly with a super wide foreend. Little drop in the stock on the original one. The stock is ill-fitting, high everywhere and the one I refinished had a top lever dragging the proud wood, so after dragging against my newly refinished wood, I put it away after killing five out of nine with it. Really crude finish with no mating wood to receiver. But it is walnut with no checkering.

I rust blued the circa 1954 gun, but today I noticed what I believe to be original hot bluing on the entire 1939 gun (1st year they were made). I'm guessing they used a different solder by then and hot bluing was the economical way to make a gun.

There must have been a huge profit in the model 24, I can not believe John Olin would have would have made it otherwise.
