thats for the info, i recently acquired the exact same rifle at a gun show for $50, not knowing what it was other than a cheap plinker. It looked like it was in rough shape, with a little bit of rust, missing the trigger guard,some holes drilled into the rec and it looked like it aint been cleaned in 50 years.
I couldn't find it in any marlin catalog and while i was at the gun show i found a spare mag for it that was made for a Savage, which is what the Ranger 103-4 resembles.
This is a good rifle, I stripped it down and thoroughly cleaned it up which took a wire brush and some time.
I went and shot it, ended up shooting 50 rounds without a single jam.
So now that I know this rifle is 80 years old, how much is my $50 junk gun worth?
