I'd kind of like to have the gun I started my Pheasant hunting career with. My Mother's old RANGER (a J. Stevens Arms Co. Springfield No. 315 made for Sears, Roebuck & Co.) 12-gauge that was custom stocked for her by my Great Uncle Art Gustafson back in the late 1930s. He did a straight grip stock with a quality trigger guard and a Jostam No-Kick-Coming pad. By 1960 I'd bought a Winchester Model 50 and my Mother was too crippled with rheumatoid arthritis to use it, so my Father sold it.
