WTS WA Ranger Over and Under 20ga Model 103-6

[STONEDR]

I am selling my Ranger Model 103-6 20ga O/U shotgun with a 26" barrel. This gun is as made for Sears by Marlin and is the same as a Marlin Model 90. This gun is a pre-WWII Model and has been in my family for 30+ years.
It is choked IC (IC/Mod appears to be common, I'll update this post after I measure both cylinders again).
The length of pull is 12 3/4" and it weighs 6.2 lbs.
All the doves in SE Texas breathed a collective sigh of relief when this gun returned to WA.
It's in good shape and I'm asking $400obo.

Chokes?

Chokes?

No chokes.

Should say somewhere on the barrels what they are choked at.

I don't see it anywhere on the barrel but I've measured the bore at .6185" and the choke at .613".

Nice! how much does it weigh?

Improved Cylinder

Looking at where it's stamped "Model 103-6" it seems that there are two lines after the 6. Maybe that's the Improved Cylinder indication.

6.20 pounds

Doing some research on this gun it may be older than I originally thought. I was going on the serial number based on the convention Marlin used for their Model 90 but I'm finding this may not be accurate. Apparently after the war Sears replaces the name "Ranger" with "JC Higgins" so this may actually be a pre-war Model.

I am now thinking this gun is from about 1941.
It's marked Ranger so it's pre-war but the latch doesn't have a visible screw so it's "second generation"making it after 1939ish.

Length of pull and did you measure both barrels at the muzzle?

Length of pull and did you measure both barrels at the muzzle?

Length of pull is 12 3/8"
I did measure both but in reading more it seems that IC/Mod would be more likely so I can measure it again after the weekend.
