J.C. Higgins Model 20

That is not the model number, but the Ranger marked shotguns were sold by Sears before WW2.
The Winchester Model 12 was never sold under the JC Higgins name.
No
We have a Ranger bolt action rifle with a model # 103-8. We do not know the age of our gun however.
No published sn data.
Would need the specific model number.
