Kind of looks like an A-5 Browning. Whats the serial number?

 

[southern_comfort]

i kind of thought the same thing i will get the numbers

 

[southern_comfort]

the only thing is it is a pump not an auto

 

[stonejs1]

Browning used to make an A5 pump.

I see I couldn't see the slide. It has the frame of an A-5.

It certainly resembles this one:

yeah it does look like the Stevens, it was fun guessing for me.

 

[southern_comfort]

dont think it is a stevens. stock is strait no pistol grip. there is a square n\hole on top of the recever. it is chambered in a short shell not 2 3/4. i will try and get better pics of it

My grandpa had a gun that looked just like that. It was a 2 3/4" though. Im pretty sure it was a Sears gun. we think it was by Browning because of the back of the reciever. The one we have says Ranger on it if I remember. I especialy recognize the saftey right infront of the trigger, but the rest of the gun look basicly the same.

Sam Colt made men equal John Browning made one man equal an army. I'm back to Browning!!

Had one just like it, Savage/Steavens made a lot of these guns for the hardware store market like Westerfield and Sears. They are all Browning patents

 

[rasmusse]

Looks like a Stevens 520, Sears sold them as a "Ranger".
