[Kitt]

I found a Ranger double barrel in a box in my shop. No stock/forearm just the barrel and reciever. In good shape 12 ga. 30" barrels with double triggers. It says Ranger on one side and Pat. Apr. 20-1915 on the other. Serial # 6 96 80
Who made this one? Any info appreciated...THANKS

Hopkins & Allen

Head to the web and search on "Hopkins & Allen double" and you'll probably find them. Great guns, but that's all I can tell you. It's not one I collect.

Might need pictures to really ID this. It seems several manufacturers, including Stevens (later Savage) made Ranger labeled guns.
If it's a Stevens it may be pretty easy to get it stocked. Also would be good to know if it has the forend iron or not.

My partner said it might be a Stevens, so I have to agree with 35Rem....but he also says the date listed should have been on a Stevens 315 which wasn't a Ranger gun. The Stevens Ranger double was apparently the 311.

Kitt, head to gunbroker and search on "stevens 311" and on "stevens 315". See if any of those match yours?
