I picked up a Model 24V series B (30-30/20ga) yesterday as an impulse buy. I've kicked around the idea of getting one but this is the first one I've seen in good condition in 30-30/20ga for a decent price ($300). Now I just need to decide what I'll do with it. ;D I'm thinking that it'll make a great walk about combo this fall.

My question for you folks who have some experience with this model is what sort of performance should I expect from the 30-30 barrel? Are there any concerns about strength? I don't know how old the gun is, but the serial number is C156*** which seems low. It locks up tight, I just don't know what to watch for in this setup or how strong they are. I'm more familiar with Contenders/Encores in the break open guns and I know their limits.
