Kutter:

Here's what is confusing for me, back in May of this year I was looking at a very nice Sear's Ranger 20 bore that was the double hump version, but with the safety located behind the trigger guard. I had thought that only the later "Riverside" single-hump versions had the different safety locations. I just tracked down the Armslist posting for that gun and it definitely is the double hump version. How do you explain that? All the rest of Browning's creations are fairly easy to identify and date, these Stevens/Savage guns are almost impossible to catagorize. What was going on up there at Chicopee Falls? Multiple lines and multiple models running concurrently?
