Eastern Arms Co. was a trade name used by Sears Roebuck. The guns were manufactured by Meriden Firearms, J. Stevens Arms, and others. How do you tell who manufactured the Ranger?
Doubt it. Eastern Arms was a trade name and not an actual manufacturer. It is possible that some guns marked Eastern Arms Co were manufactured by Remington for Sears Roebuck.
The Eastern Arms single shot .410 was manufactured by Stevens. Parts are the same as the Stevens model 94 and can be obtained from The small Arms Shop at 352-637-4770. Hope this helps...Steve

That would be a Stevens 94B sold by Sears Roebuck.
There are probably some Ranger and Eastern Arms models that are identical since Sears owned both tradenames, but there was no actual manufacturer named Eastern Arms. If any Ranger firearms were made between 1905 and 1915 they would have been manufactured by Meriden Firearms, but most of the later ones were made by Savage/Stevens.
The Eastern Arms company was a trade name used By Sears and Roebucks. There may be a date stamped on the barrel as well. This would be the production date.Good Luck.
