It looks like a ranger to me, but with a cocker front block?

I believe it’s an auto Ranger but someone else might know for sure.

yep 👍

Think AutoTraccer but for the WGP Ranger

That IS an AutroTrracer. The kit came with a WGP slide frame- the Ranger came with a pivot frame.

Note the snap ring on the barrel at the front of the pneumatics- that's a Trracer barrel. (The AT kit came with a thin sleeve to space the Trracer barrel out to 1", so the shroud would fit properly.)

Except for the hand-drilled trigger and "ported" feed neck, that's a box-stock AutoTrracer.

Doc.

I stand corrected 👍🏼

You're right, good catch on that.
I keep forgetting there was 2 semi conversion for the traccer.

Somebody wants this more than me...

Sorry William, I ended up getting this one. To the field she goes!

Man, where is the dislike button? Just kidding dude! Yeah my max last seconds bid was for $500 (including taxes/shipping, so $452.40), which was as high as I was willing to go. Have fun with it dude!

One tip: Constantly check the bolt screw is tight. You can't check it too often- because it WILL come loose, the action will try to bend it back and forth, and eventually ruin the screw.

Timing is also a bit tricky- that's old enough it probably has the early cup-and-clip 3-way, which has a longer stroke than modern switches, and of course you can't adjust the sear for release.

We fought with a couple of those for years, back in the day, and I always wondered if modern mods, like an adjustable LPR and a better 3-way, would have helped.

Plus the Chameleon and the Trojan. Maybe Colin could have sold Autospirits as a bolt on kit? He only made about 100, using off the shelf parts.
