on the muzzle end of the barrel there will be 3 grooves for the handgaurd/extension, if the barrel is smooth on the outside with no grooves it is a riot gun.
The J C Higgins model 102.25 was made by Stevens. It is a Stevens model 520, also marketed to Montgomery Wards, JC Penny, Western Auto, JC Higgins and Sears Roebuck "Ranger" brand. It was designed by JM Browning although Browning never produced the gun. The 520 is a take down that Stevens also made for the US military as a trench gun with an 18" barrell.
Should be from 1948-1954
The serial number range for the Stevens model 520-30 military shotguns is from 30,000-70,000.As to the year of manufacture you will probably have to contact Savage/Stevens directly.
It's a Stevens 520 with a Sears name.
yes, there is a trench gun on cod 5
They used a trench gun aka a shot gun and a Springfield rifle and a Thompson gun.
That is not a model number, but is likely the serial number. Unless you have a Model 620 US marked Trench Gun, Stevens pump shotguns have little collectors value.

Your gun is a Stevens Model 520. Made for Sears, and marked with the Sears trademark of Ranger. Nice pump shotgun, originally designed by John Browning.
The Stevens Model 520 was built on a Browning patent and so marked. Stevens also built the gun for Sears before World War II under the 'Ranger' tradename, so if you have a slide-action shotgun marked 'Ranger' and 'Browning Patent' then that is what you have.
The Stevens 67 is similar to the Stevens 520, which is discussed in the Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly and Disassembly Volume 5 (revised). This book can often be found on Amazon.com or eBay.
Montgomery Ward Company marketed the Western Field brand of firearms mostly in the first half of the 20th century. They contracted existing gun manufacturers to supply them with firearms to be stamped with the Western Field name. Stevens, Mossberg, Marlin, and others were some of these companies. The model 30 is a bit of a conundrum since there were actually different models using that number. They came in two general variations (pump and bolt-action) and in two separate gauges (12 and 16), as listed below: #model 30 (by Stevens- based on Stevens mod. 520*, 12-gauge pump) #model 30 SB526A (Stevens model 520*, 16-gauge pump) #model 30 25EKN 162A (Kessler model 30c 12-gauge bolt action**) #model 30 25EKN 163A (Kessler model 30c 16-gauge bolt action**) *Stevens model 520 also came in military variations, a.k.a. "trench guns" used during WW2, although the nickname 'trench gun' implies trench-style warfare, so there is the mistaken belief that this model was used during WW1, even though it was never produced until after that conflict. **Kessler model 30c bolt action shotguns had a spring loaded magazine that held 2 shells. As you can see, some Western Field model 30s were pump action, some were bolt action. As you may know, Montgomery Ward was similar to Sears in the old days in that it was primarily a mail-order company. Stevens also made firearms for Sears.
