I started hunting and shot my first Pheasants in 1959 with my Mother's 12-gauge Ranger, which I'm sure started life in Chicopee Falls, Mass. A shirttail relative, Art Gustavson, who was a gunsmith in north Seattle had restocked the Ranger for her with a straight grip stock, a quality trigger guard, and a Jostam No-Kick recoil pad. Over the following summer I saved my lawn mowing money and went for firepower with a shiney new vent ribbed Winchester Model 50!!
My Mother being too crippled to hunt anymore the Ranger was sold. Would love to stumble onto it again!
