I have a shotgun but don't know what kind it is maybe some of you might know. It's a double barrel has the word ranger written in scroll on the left side of receiver. On the right side it stamped 5000. It's a 12ga 30 inch bbls. serial numbers all match C xxxx. I've looked in all my gun book's and can't find any information on this gun. Any help on this one guy's thank's in advance

  I know that Winchester made shotguns called "ranger", but don't know if they made any doubles. I would think that it would say U.S. Repeating Arms on it someplace, if it is a Winchester.
  Also could be a gun made by some manufacturer for a certain store. I have a 12 single, and the only markings on it are "Russo", a bad stamp of a rooster, and "Chicago, Illinois." Nearest I ever got to finding out, was that it was made for some hardware store in Chicago, maker unknown. Good luck!
