Prior to 1968, the law did not require serial numbers on rifles and shotguns. Since it costs money to serialize firearms, inexpensive guns usually did not have one.

Find out who asked the question about the JC Higgens 22 If the serial number is correct that firearm is stolen From me?

Please note- Most JC Higgins 22s were made prior to 1968, and did not HAVE a serial number. What many people mistake for a serial number is the Sears MODEL number. Until the 1968 Gun Control Act, rifles and shotguns were not required to have a serial number. I'm sorry. You may contact me through my message board if you need more information.
