J C Higgins Firearms

I beleive 1947

Spanner nut to be 1.275" below magazine tube cap with 26" barrel, cutt's type poly-choke.

Test fire and adjust as neccy.

1. lower, "increased dimension" equals more gas to cycle (harder hit in receiver,not good).

2. Higher, "decreased dimension" equals less gas to operate action and will result in short stroking.

Gas system components MUST be clean and DRY, NO LUBE of any kind .

Very nice shotgun. My favorite, even over an 1100 Remington.

Yes, there was. It was the JC Penney catalog, and almost all 8 to12-year olds I knew had a copy of it! Not sure what year it was, but I'm guessing around 1974 to 1976.

1972

Its worth between $350 and $600 bucks.

499 dollars

Factory magazine for Marlin 80 DL $18 + $7 shipping at ammoclip.com

Sears, Wards, JC Penney and Western Auto used a variety of gun makers to make guns for them. Companies like Mossberg, Savage, Hi Standard, Stevens, Colt and Marlin all made company guns for these stores

a J.C. Higgins Model 20 12 Gauge pump shotgun.. it would probably be worth $100 - $200 in very good condition.. i bought a 1962 model 20 12 gauge from a friend of the family who is a gunsmith for $300. it was his personal shotgun that he had for over 40 years, bought new, was made in America before sears started outsourcing their labor, and was in PRISTINE CONDITION..

I'm not saying yours is worth $300, i only paid that because i knew who owned it, i knew that it was in perfect shape, both working condition and there was no scratch or wear spots on the entire thing. i only forked that much out after shooting my dads Remington 870 and comparing the Higgins to it.. with the muzzle break and separated choke, there is so much less recoil on the Higgins compared to the 870.. when you're competitively shooting (and hunting, too) the less recoil there is means you can set up your second shot much faster and more accurately.

the value of your shotgun is the value of its operational condition, with the aesthetics playing a very small part.

fair condition approx $100. USD.........very good condition approx $175. USD

J.C. Higgins Model 101.1 is worth uo to about $100 its most valuable in the field good rabbit gun. Enjoy it.

50.00

NUmrich has the extractor, But no sling

$.67

Your rifle was made by Savage/ Stevens/ Springfield. Depending on condition, they sell for around $125.

Sears Roebuck & Co sold the model 43-103.19811 , .22 cal , rimfire , SL / LR , tube feed , bolt action - the rifle was manufactured by Marlin Firearms Co.

Unfortunetly not. A functional gun in decent shape brings about $150-200.

The amassed opinion from the Internet is that the 33 'Huntmaster' a pump 22 cal rifle was one of the few actually made by JC Higgins, one in exceptional shape would fetch around 150 dollars, IMO the date of manufacture would be late 40's early 50's.

Since there is no way to actually pin down the date or actually who manufactured it, the firearm is interesting in the sense that it looks like a Remington, but it has elements of Hi Standard engineering.

Depending on condition, $300-$400. That is for the 1955-56 models- later models may be slightly less.

1980

50-125

I just bought one mint in box for $140
