I also have a mod. 45, Lever action 30-30. I have the original owners manual but it does not give any clue to these questions. I have been told by a very knowledgeable person that they are somewhat rare, were made by Winchester and pretty valuable. I have not been able to confirm.
AnswerNo, that is incorrect. The JC Higgins Model 45 was originally made by Marlin Firearms, and is a variant of the Marlin Glenfield 30A. Marlin made these guns for Sears during the late 1950's through the early 1960's. I have one made in 1961. A very well-made rifle. They will bring about 15% less than a Marlin 336 from the same period (so, $150-$180).countrygunsmith@direcway.com
AnswerMy data converts this gun to a Marlin 336 C and says it was manufactured from late sixties to eighty three or so. I question the dates as the gun appears older. JAnswer

The JC Higgins Model 45 was made by Marlin and is basically the same gun as the Model 336. Manuals are availabe from Marlin Firearms. The JC Higgins Model 66 was made by High Standard and is out of production. I have a manual scanned, and can email it to you. sales@countrygunsmith.net
