When I was 13 in 1948, I sold my Iver Johnson champion 410 and bought a model 24 20ga. 28".One Saturday I was hunting squirrels with my uncle in Pennsylvania. It was early in the season and many leaves were still on the trees. I saw a squirrel run up a tree nearby but I lost sight of him in the leaves. As I waited for the squirrel to move a crow flew by and I took a shot at the crow. I missed the crow but the squirrel fell dead out of the tree. I didn't feel that I could fairly claim to have gotten a squirrel, but my uncle said it was ok. By the next hunting season I had sold the model 24 and bought a Remington model 31 16 ga.

We've had 24's in 12 16 and 20 at the shop for sale . And as you may very well assume I fingered them all . And I can honestly say not a damn one of them felt good in my hands . We've had several 21's in the shop also and again as you may very well assume I fingered them as well . Out of ALL the 21's we had only one felt good to me ! That was a straight stocked 16 gauge with 28" barrels beavertail forend choked skeet in skeet out .
