[notes 1] During World War II the United States Army Air Corps purchased some 15,000 Model 22-410s for use as survival guns.

[1] In 1950, Stevens stopped making the 22-410, and Savage introduced the same gun as the Model 24.

[1][2] The basic .22LR over .410 gauge model weighs 7 pounds, has 24-inch barrels, and has an overall length of 41 inches.

Over its many years of production, it was made in several versions, including a pistol grip model that is only 26 inches long.

[5] It features black plastic furniture and the adjustable rifle sights can be removed to install a scope base.

The fire selector was a small push button on the upper part of the trigger.
