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 am not hating it at all. Can't argue with the price

Model 24 Depending on the Gauge
I've had several Model 24s over the years, I've owned three 16s and one 12, The size and feel of the 16s was totally different than the 12, along with the wood. I felt the wood on the 12 was from a poor quality 2 x 4 while the 16s all had decent wood on them. Currently have none in the safe, passed on to others for various reasons.
I liked the 16s for Winter Cottontail and Snowshoe rabbit hunting here in Mid Michigan. |

No hate from me! I'm not a fan of straight grips but at that price it would have been in my cabinet for sure!

I shot my brother's 16 gauge one afternoon at Loch Raven skeet and trap. I hit just about every skeet target that I shot at!!

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.

I owned a 20, serial number 26,497, a mint prewar gun, 26"
cylinder and modified. I shouldn't have let it go for $50.00. I was 13 and didn't have any good sense. It came from Don's Gun Shop in Falls Church, Virginia. I sent it along its way to Texas. |
