I stumbled upon an unusual (at least to me) 16ga. shotgun at a pawn shop. I probably paid a little too much for it. But it seems to be in really good shape for it's age.
It's a Sears Ranger Model 30, 16ga, 28" barrel, full choke, with 2 3/4 in. chamber. I did a search on it and believe it to be the same gun as the Stevens 520.
The asking price was $225, they declined my offer of $175, so we settled on $200 and now it's mine.
It has a very unique way of taking it down, that caught my machinists eye. Everything seems to work as it should. Is there anything that I should be aware of on this model?
It probably won't get shot a lot, but as with all my guns it will see some use. I'd like to hear any positives or negatives to increase my knowledge on the model.
