J C Higgins Firearms

need info on jc Higgins model 60 12 gauge shotggun

These guns are quite old 46 to 60 years old the barrels can be very difficult to remove they are screwed into the receiver you should be a gunsmith to remove the barrel as fitting a new barrel you will have to make sure that the head space is ok. Most guns of this era had fixed barrel even the early Remington 870 had fixed barrels you will need a barrel vise barrel spanner to start with years of shooting and rust make thes barrels a challenging task

if its a 1913 Pattern 14. army rifle that's in good condition with a bayonet attachment and still works and has all the parts to it, its probably worth a few million

1958 to 1962 for jc Higgins

in any freaken year I dont care!

Probably made in the last part of the 1950's after December 1956, there wil be an assembly date code on the barrel.

Impossible to answer without knowing who made it.

it will accept Winchester 30-30 150 grain bullets. Remington sells them for about $12 dollars for a box of twenty. I own the same model gun myself.

I am not sure what it is worth though

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,

home and automotive products and services, serving more than 50 million

households.

Manufactured by J Stevens (Savage Arms) in good condition 250 dollars in excellent or better 500 bucks

1958-1961....

You need to provide the model number as a start to identify what company manufactured the gun. The condition is very important for determining the value. At most, it is worth a few hundred dollars and may be worth considerably less.

The Sears Ranger 12 gauge model 102.25 was made by Stevens Arms Company and designed by Browning. 100% grade would put the value at approx. $200.00 if it was a Stevens. Less to some buyers if they are not attracted to the Sears marketing of the same gun. I personally think you would be safe at $150.00 for a nice used gun that has most of the bluing and the wood is in good condition. These guns are very trustworthy and are very dependable. A real shooters shotgun.

The JC Higgins Model 31 rifle was manufactured for Sears and Roebuck by Hi Standard.

I bought mine at a gun show for $200 without a scope. Others are selling on the internet for $200 with a scope and an ingraved stock. Mine was also in mint condition. Like most second hand rifles, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. In many cases ive seen the majority of 2nd hand rifles being sold for $50-$100 less than a new current model. To me it makes sense to buy new. Ive seen the Mossberg 640KA at AU$350-AU$600. If buying brand new, its best to seek the RRP from the manufacturers site and that way you can make a decision if the dealers markup price is justifyable.

You may want to try Gunbroker.com / gunsamerica.com / gunparts.com / ebay.com / and the mossberg company if you have not done this yet and see if the can help.

just bought a really nice one for $75

You will have to contact the importer

The Toz-63 shotgun was manufactured in USSR at the "Tula Rifle Factory".

It has exposed hammers, double triggers, extractor, fixed choke (half choke and one-eighth choke), bead front sight, and a 2.75 chamber (70mm). Also, it has Greener locking system.

Barrel: 28.25", Overall: 45.5", Weight 6.85 lbs.

TOZ-E began to let out Caliber 16 and 20 instead of TOZ-BM since 1964. TOZ-E, is different from TOZ-BM in terms of the chrome-plated stems and the better external finishing.

It has no safety-catch but it is impossible for the hammers, when in resting position, to hit the fire pins unless you hit them with a sledgehammer!

Check your local phone directory for Gunsmiths.

You first have to determine what the gun actually is. JC Higgins didn't manufacture guns - Sears bought guns from a variety of manufacturers and had them marked as JC Higgins. Go through this web site:

and determine what make and model the gun is. It can then be determined what date renge the gun was likely made. I have a short cal 22 jc hjggings sold by searsser number (ser1262830 how old a value Thanks for any help Thanks Johnny
