I picked these two up today at my local shop.
A Sears Ranger 102.35 (Savage 29a) .22 pump....S, L, LR....Likely made sometime in the late 1930s to 1940. The receiver's finish is a bit worn (the cast receiver did not hold blue well) and it's fitted with a Lyman tang sight. It's also a take-down.
Next up is a post-war Stevens 5100 12 ga SXS with the Tenite stock.....Tenite was used because in the post war years walnut and birch was very hard to come by....This one is in really good shape with very good blue and case hardening....30" barrels choked full and modified.....Likely made between 1946 -'50.
If I was going to use it I'd get me a Stevens 311 stock set for it as Tenite does not hold up all that well and it's light weight tends to beat the snot out of you.
