It's in real good shape, not all dinged up or rusty. Need triggers and springs and other parts. Anyone know anything about these shot guns, who made them or who sold them? It's a cute lil thing.
 
There should be a Sears catalog number stamped on the gun. With that you can find out exactly what make and model it is. There's a crossover reference in the back of the Blue Book of Gun Values.
If you don't have a book, post the number here and I or someone else can look it up for you.
 
Ty Grayfox. Only number i can find is X66367 on forearm metal and same number stamped in the wood on forearm, bottom of barrel and receiver. There are no numbers after the RANGER logo. Has PAT. APRIL 20 1915 under the ranger logo and 410 gauge on top of barrel. Has a number 12 in a circle on the under side where barrel meets the receiver.

Ranger Side by Side 12 Gauge Questions

I'm helping my brother-in-law catalog a bunch of old guns formerly belonging to his dad and the above-titled gun is one of them. It's a poorly cared for double shotgun with rust patches on the outside of the barrel, but the bore seems to have been protected by all the crud. (I yi yi) One the...

Sears catalog numbers are usually 3 digits, a period followed by 4 or 5 digits. XXX.XXXX
Sometimes they show a separate Model number. These numbers are usually found on the receiver or at the base of the barrel.
Under the Ranger name I'm finding some with 3 digits, period and 1 or 2 numbers. XXX.X Some are simply Model Numbers.
I'm afraid I'm not finding anything like the number you provided. I'm thinking that is likely a serial number. Can you post some pictures? That would help.
 
Patent stamp means it’s a Stevens. .410 production started in 1925 and by 1929 they stopped using the name Stevens and started using Springfield. Stevens records were destroyed in a fire so no serial number data base. So it’s a Stevens 311 made between 1925 and 1929.
 
Thanks to ya'll for the info. Took the barrel and stock off and inside of action there is nothing left like EMPTY. lol. The forearm is complete as is the safety. The lever works but needs a spring. Went on Numrich 311 parts and almost got sticker shock,$300 and wasn't all the parts I need. So im'a gonna park the gun for now. My new project now is a 0E.W.? Steyr 1886 rifle.The gun is complete but the safety isn't working but the bore is V.V.G. condition.The barrel ,action, trigger group ,bolt all have the number 145 .I have to slug the barrel to see what bore is. I'll try and get some picture of both the 410 and the steyr.

I have a ranger .410 side by side with 5 digit serial number starting with X-94…
I can only find the name ranger on the side of the ‘lower ‘ and the words “Proof tested 410 gauge” on top of each barrel. On one of the serial numbers there is a much smaller E . This gun is complete except for a forend . I’ve been trying to find one but have to try to get a model # first before I can find a part #
