![]() ![]() In 1945 and after, Sears guns were also marked 'Marlin'. Model 90's were marked 'Ranger' prior to WWII.(That would be nice, and yes, I will pattern it first chance I get). I do not have a gauge, but the bottom has very little choke and the top seems to have twice as much, as found using a homemade 'feeler' type gauge. The top barrel is choked tighter then the bottom. The top of the barrel has a matted (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) stamping down the center, single bead.The red recoil pad is marked Ranger, with a duck above, and the number 1 below on it.ěarrel stampings - JM in an oval, and an X.Barrel marked as such - Ranger Over and Under.ğor what it's worth - 1937 Tom Mix's specail serial # is 1390, mine is 2342, which puts it 952 guns after 1937? May mean nothing at all.Ěpparently, there are no Sears Ranger serial number records.All iron serial numbers match, even the extractor. What I 'think' I know about my Ranger Model 103-6 20ga. May be a tough task, or already done, but has a list been created of 'family owned' Rangers with serial numbers and remembered date of purchase created?ĭid Sears checker their guns, with a different checkering pattern, before '45? Brophy's book said 'Marlins' were not chekered prior to '45.
