I have always found it interesting that Parker, LC Smith, and Ithaca did not make pump shotguns, with the exception that late in the game Ithaca came out with the model 37.
Surely they must have seen a large part of the market for years being take by Auto’s and pumps.
I suppose the capital investment along with training required kept them out of those markets.

I looked at a RANGER 16 gauge pump today. Marked Sears.

I am sure it was made by Stevens but It got me to thinking.
