JC Higgins 1950 4 shot 12 Gage single barrel Bolt action shot gun Value?

Answer 1

Modele 10 made from 1945 to 1956 these are 6 shot often found with magazine plugs limiting them to three shos in excellent condition worth about 100 bucks or more depending on series 583 1 worth more than 583 20 etc and that depends who whats it gun dealers will pay the least as these gun are not very popular the latter one known as the model 11 583 1100 5831101 and 583 1102 are rare but not all that valuable and you would be lucky to get 50 bucks for one

Also beware there there is a recall on the JC Higgins shot guns.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sears Issues Voluntary Recall on J.C. Higgins Shotgun

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears, Roebuck and Co.

(NYSE: S) today announced a voluntary recall of J.C. Higgins Bolt Action

12-Gauge shotguns, a product manufactured for and sold by the company during

the 1950s.

The shotguns are being voluntary recalled due to a potential problem with

the bolt latch assembly, which could cause the assembly to fail allowing it to

dislodge and strike the operator in the face. Sears is offering a $160

finders' fee for the return of the bolt, making the shotgun inoperable.

The shotguns were sold in Sears stores and through its catalog as the

"J.C. Higgins Bolt Action 12-Gauge Model 10 Shotgun" during the 1950s. It was

carried under a number of product numbers: 583.13, 583.14, 583.15, 583.16,

583.17, 583.18, 583.19, 583.20, 583.21 and 583.22. The product model number

is engraved on the barrel of the shotgun.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the shotgun. Call

800-817-9165 for identification verification and instructions on return

procedures.

Sears, Roebuck and Co. discontinued the sale of all firearms and

ammunition in the early 1980s. Through its network of more than 830 full-line

stores and 2,500 off-the-mall stores, Sears is a leading retailer of apparel,
