Witness to innumerable robberies and party to some three dozen murders, this Ranger 73 Aperture accompanied The Gunslinger from the first time she stepped outside the law to her last.
Some say that this Ranger was dug up in a tunnel underground, nestled between bundles of rotted evergreen branches and a burlap sack of prettily wrapped parcels. To see the bullets as gifts is to embrace the thrill of spreading its cheer.
Doc Redmartin’s big bet on his All-Cure didn’t pay off. His self-named Ranger 73 was all he had left to settle his debt to Davies. When the foolish Doc left the saloon, he could’ve used it. Grinning victims awaited, tipped off by Davies. Payback was a good enough reason to smile.
If the rumors are to be believed, this rifle is adorned with fabric torn from the robes of a soothsayer. Some say the initials of its victims—past and future—are engraved over the inner workings of the weapon. Are yours among them?
