I don't think Taurus will mind this thread talking about firearms more than his gear LOL.

I've been looking very closely at the 24C. Having both a .22 and a 20 gauge shotgun in one solid and simple unit is exactly my type of hardware. I see that there are a lot used on the web but some are quite old. How hard are they to take down into pieces? Is that even an option?

I'm in no hurry so if it takes months then I can live with that. The safety course I'm taking is free and the hunter safety course is offered online for only $70 from the same outfit. I'll just need to find somewhere to do my written and practical exam...I still haven't learned if the same place does that as well...it may.
