Forgotten friend...
« on: February 20, 2013, 01:46:09 AM »
Remington Mod 24 from waaaaaay back in the safe. Hasn't been fired in decades. Made in 1922, this one is short only. Hope to rekindle an old relationship soon...

When it was clean it would cycle the short CCI CBs. Only auto I've ever seen that would. I have a few bricks of them.

I think you are in luck. Shorts are about the only rimfire ammo I see on the shelves in my parts lately. Slick looking little rifle.
Hi NSA! Can you see how many fingers I am holding up?

Ages ago I had one of the 241's. They sure are accurate rifles. I kinda had to hunker down on the stock to sight it, tho.
