The author of this article states: "The Model 12 was the first truly successful internal hammer pump-action shotgun ever produced." This is a common misconception. The Stevens Model 520, a hammerless slide action shotgun, also a John Browning design patents granted 1905 and 1907, was introduced in 1904 and remained in production until 1932. Many 520's were sold as store guns and carried names such as "Ranger" which I believe was Montgomery Wards name for it. They also saw extensive service in the military.
