Bought all four one buy. Private sale.

24 easily breaks down. This one in .22short

Now I'm hankering for a Winchester 61 pump.

Some questionsand nice work !!!

Nice work. .....

Now then;
1) Is that Marlin, a Mountie?
2) Is that auto a browning or Remington?
3) What is your single-shot; Perhaps a Stevens?

Thanks and;
Be Safe !!!

I was told that the 39A is a Mountie but I don't recall what it was that made it so.

The Model 24 is a semiautomatic Remington. IIRC it is a Browning design?

The Scout is a Savage 14.5.

These have me interested in further rim fire acquisitions.

The Mountie has the straight grip stock vs. the regular version that has a semi-grip stock (which is what most sporting rifles have). The Mountie also has a shorter barrel/magazine tube (20 inch) and is usually more sought after depending on personal preference.

I like the Mounties !!!

There is more than one generation of Mounties and they are fairly easy to spot. Read what it says on the barrel and it may say what generation this is. They are sweet little rifles. ......

Enjoy and;
Be Safe !!!

Wow! Those are very nice. Great collection there. I have a Remington 521-T that's very similar to your 513. I also have a Savage Model 72 single shot with the octagonal barrel. Love them both as much as my more modern stuff!

Fine rifles, these. I am especially enamored by the Model 513 T Matchmaster. Great old target rifle.
What is the brand/model of the receiver sight mounted on it?

More .22s

Since I bought this batch I purchased two more 39A. One with a Weaver 4x.
The next with a Simmons peep sight a FO front sight and a hammer extender and a really nice leather sling.

The Remignton 24 semi auto is a Browning licensed design that Remington manufactured for a number of years. Browning still makes the gun under their name - Miroku makes it for them in Japan. Nice little gun.

I found a very nice used 24 the other day. Excellent condition. LGS wanted $600 IIRC. Sure was pretty. Mine is a bit rough and is rated for .22 shorts only.

Yep. 1922-1935.
In 1935, they modified the design to be sleeker, easier to manufacture, "idiot mark"-proof for takedown/assembly, and more friendly during field stripping (staking or otherwise securing parts that 'fall out' of or are easy to accidentally remove from the 24 or SA-22).
The "new" version, the Model 241, ran from August 1935 to some time in 1951. At right around 7,200 model 241s produced, they added "Speedmaster" to the side of the receiver. (But, serial numbers were often out of sequence, so the serial numbers don't match production figures.)

The various models were available in .22 Short or and .22 LR.

With any of those rifles, other than newer Browning SA-22s, keep in mind that they were designed for "standard velocity" ammunition. Modern, "high velocity" and "hyper velocity" ammunition will cause premature wear and/or permanent damage.


I have a January 1936 model 241 in .22 LR that's in pretty good shape, and is 'pre-Speedmaster' with a 12k+ serial number. But, in all honesty, I'd rather have a model 24 or the Browning SA-22 - even if it was .22 Short only.
