J.C. Higgins
I bought my 22 lever action rifle from the Sears store back in the early or mid 60ies and when I looked it up I found that The brand name, J. C. Higgins, was based on a real person, John Higgins who was a Sears employee. He moved from his birth country of Ireland to the United States
Any of you have this rifle also ? |
Re: J.C. Higgins
Don't have a lever action .22 but the first rifle I bought for my youngest son (now 36 years young, lol) was a bolt action .22. I remember the JC Higgins name on a LOT of things offered from Sears. Sadly our Sears store closed long ago, I was always a fan of Sears Die Hard batteries.

Not the .22, but I had an old 12 gu pump "J C HIGGINS" It was made by Hi Standard. Good gun by the way.

A good buddy has a JC Higgins .30-06 made by FN. The same Belgium company that made all the Brownings. He has strict instructions I am the only one he can sell it to.

Then there were the "Western Auto' Marlins
It was a fad in the 60s to build a less expensive line of guns for dept stores. All of them are collectible to folks our age who remember them. |

In 1964 for my birthday my parents bought me a single shot break open Western Field .410 shotgun in a youth model from Montgomery Wards.... I still have it.
Most of those were made by Stevens, Savage and Mossberg. From what I just randomly looked up on line a box of 25 shells cost $199!! Holly Cow!!! Haven't shot that thing probably in 50 years and more than likely never will again. |

Here is a pretty good listing and model-manf list of the Western Auto- Revelation guns. I wasnt aware there were this many. Ive had a couple of 30:30s from them.
