Older bolt action 12 gauge

Nat · Mar 13, 2021

I've got an older jc Higgins model 583.16 that I really have no use or ties to. Got it a while ago as an extra through a trade and haven't done anything with it. It's in Poor to moderate condition. No shipping, buyer pays transfer fee. Price is OBO. Open to trades, worst I'll say is no. Will come with a cheaper hard case as well.

I would be curious if it was one of the recalled ones; https://histandard.info/manuals/hbashotguns/

Yes, 583.16 was on that recall list. Supposedly Sears won their bankruptcy and is still in a few limited locations. Wonder if they'll still honor that $160 finders fee

. Or you could part it out... last i looked those older choke systems are going for a pretty penny.

"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. The shotgun was carried under several product numbers: 583.13, 583.14, 583.15, 583.16, 583.17, 583.18, 583.19, 583.20, 583.21 and 583.22."
