Not designed for full auto modification.
J. C. Higgins was not a manufacturer. J. C. Higgins was a tade name used by Sears Roebuck & Co.
Get two pistols and put them together and it will make a double pistol! TADA!
You take it to a trained gunsmith for evaluation and repair.
It would help if you gave the make, caliber, and condition of the pistol when you asked this question. Without that it all guess work.
Yes- but not very common. There is an automatic pistol caliber known as the .38 Super, which does not interchange with the .38 Special revolver cartridge. There have been a small number of target pistols built to shoot .38 Special Wadcutter target ammo. And there is at least one auto pistol made in caliber .357 Magnum (revolver cartridge). However, revolver ammo is rimmed, and auto pistol ammo is rimless- there are usually feeding problems when an auto pistol is made for revolver ammo.
There are a number of different car models that Part City Auto supplies parts for. In fact, they claim to have parts for every make and model on the road.
Western Auto Supply did not make guns, they bought enough of them from a company that did make guns to have their name put on them. 35-75 USD Any idea what value it is-who was the maker? One recently sold at online auction for $101, in good, usable condition. They were made by High Standard, as best as I can determine by comparing them to known models. Value will vary by condition, location and market.
JC Higgins never made guns of rifles. Sears contracted several gun manufactures to make guns and rifles for them using the J C Higgins brand name. This is the same for Wards and Western auto. All of them stopped selling guns around 1988 due to social pressure.
The Savage Models 1907, 1915, and 1917 were all available in .32 auto and .380. They also manufactured a small number of .25 autos called the 6.35 mm as well as a Model 1905 in .45 ACP for the US Army trials.
cut off the handle of the attachable pistol and that makes it a sawed off pistol attachment also cut off the stock and make it detachable and then you have an SMG semi-auto with a single shot attachment
For the same reason that most things are invented- to be a commercial success, and make money. The semi-auto pistol could be made smaller and lighter than a revolver, hold more ammunition, and reload quicker.
