Those humpbacked pumps on John Browning's design may be ugly but they're damned good shooting irons. I have a 20 ga. Ranger with the suicide safety (inside trigger guard) and I can't seem to miss with it. I call it "ugly gun" but it's my go to gun for nasty weather or trips where I'm likely to take a fall (most of them}. On one of the other boards some "expert" said they were prone to loosening up because of their unique takedown system of milled grooves in barrel extension and receiver. Hogwash. It is a system far less likely to loosen than say a Model 37, an 870, of any other guns relying on tension applied by screw threads. That's about all I have to say except that the old humpback pumps were forged, milled steel, black walnut, coarsly checkered, and had lovely slim corncob forends. I love 'em, ugly or not. Handsome is as handsome does! Chopperlump
