Where can you find a clip for a JC Higgins 22 cal rifle model 42?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would suggest trying a local gunsmith who has been around a while. Gun shows would also be a possible source. Numrich Gun parts, http://www.e-gunparts.com/, found a clip for a Savage Model 1903 .22 short pump action rifle for me many years after it had been discontinued. They are known for their large stock of gun parts. Magazines for this rifle are also available at www.midwayusa.com. In googling the model 42, I learned it was a rebranded Marlin 80 and I bought the Marlin 80 magazine; it is product # 635389 and it looks, fits and operates the same as the original JC Higgins clip. The above is correct. The Model 42 and the Marlin Model 80 use the same clip. Do a google search for "Marlin 704046" and you will see a bunch of online stores selling them for about Fifteen bucks. midwayusa.com didn't have them when I searched.

Why it is important to pace during aerobic activity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you don't pace yourself, you will get tired near the end of your race. Those who do pace themselves will have more energy at the end and will pass you up. Only pace yourself in 200s and longer. If you are capable of sprinting a 200 then you do not need to pace.

How enzymes are used to make food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Enzymes do not make food. Enzymes are enablers. They are protein structures that catalyze chemical reactions, making them happen much more quickly. This makes certain processes feasible, like digestion. If you tried to digest food without enzymes, it would take an unbelievably long time. They are used to make food by speeding up the processes involved.

What is the Catholic Church's teaching on Zen philosophy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know, but i have found it interesting that there is a monastic tradition in the Catholic Church (e.g., Trappists) that resembles Zen practice in certain ways.

Also, recent scholarship (sorry, I don't have the citations handy but they can be easily found on Wikipedia.org) that it appears that St. Iehosaphat may have been none other than Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. So if they canonized him they can't think too badly of him, can they?

Also, see the books of Thomas Merton. Also see the book "The Cloud of Unknowing." Also search on "Catholic meditation blog" for contemporary thought on the subject.

Further, take a look at the Christian Mystics: Meister Eckhart, John of the Cross and Jacob Boehme. Zen does not end there, but the similarities are remarkable.

There is a real spin of an answer in the Catholic Encyclopedia.
