Default Another 20 gauge..Ranger.........

This came from an estate in Ohio..28"..M/IC...Cut checkering...3/8" thick red pad that says..Gart Bros. Sporting Goods..Denver, Colo...I THINK this is a Stevens Model 315 or 330..Colors are 95++...blue near perfect..Wood finish about new. Bores gleam..Double ivory beads..As far as I can tell...the RANGER name was stopped in 1946 when J C Higgins was introduced..Just had to have it !

My 20ga Ranger isn't quite as nice as yours but it's been a good gun...

Same style RANGER marking as my mother's 12-gauge I began my bird shooting career with. Don't know when she got it, but she is holding it in the righthand picture here dated October 1934.
