My Dad was in the Army at the end of WW II and was with first Troops to occupy Japan. After he got out of the Army he never wanted to be around guns. A Friend of ours took my Brother and I shooting. One of the first guns I ever shot was a 22 LR over .410. I’ve looked for one of the rifle over shotguns but never found one to buy. The 22 WMR over 20 gauge would really be versatile. I think they made a 38/357 over 12 gauge but I think it uses a larger receiver.

Thanks for posting OP brings back some good memories!

The Issue is usually not that they get shot out, but rather rusted out in storage.
Left for decades in some gun case in a forgotten back closet or basement.

That looks really nice! Great squirrel getter!

Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.

I have my grandfather's Savage 24B .22WMR over 20 gauge and can confirm its usefulness as a yard cleanup varmint getter.

No shit! I can't believe he has a Tenite gun with no cracks!!!!!

OP...if you can find later wood furniture, do it! Preserve the Tenite! ( I don't even know if there IS later wood furniture but if there is...get it! )
