| I just bought a Sears Ranger shotgun to make into a SBS. For the research I've done it's a Savage 720 made for Sears. I'll know more once it's delivered, but from everything I have seen and read there is no model number anywhere on the receiver, just a banner that says "Ranger." Is it acceptable to use "Ranger" as the model number for the Form 1? I plan to take pictures of the receiver and submit them as attachments. Anyone had to deal with this before? |
| I tried your link, thanks. No luck so far, I went deep into google and found Sears did use model numbers. None of the cross reference guides had a match. Found an ad for my shotgun in the Fall 1933 Sears catalog, no specific model there either. I might have to actually open a book, going to look for old gun value guides at the library. |

ATF might require that you choose a model designation, and engrave it. Then it would be your choice. This may be relevant: http://shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=59094 The Jack First printed parts catalogs have a cross-reference list in the appendix which is fairly inclusive, more so than this one anyway: http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/catalog/cross_reference.html. There is no online version of their catalogs. Shotguns are one book (blue), then rifles, and pistols. A local gunsmith is likely to have a set. |

I submitted N/A for all my F1 cans and didn't engrave a model. |

I'd absolutely include a copy of that email with my submission. Just a tip.  Quoted:

FYI, ATF replied and told me to put "none" for the model #. I'd absolutely include a copy of that email with my submission. Just a tip. That would be good idea. Or have "None" engraved as an SN
