Default RE: .16 GA. Question?????

RICHIE3,
I' ll bet your J.C. higgins is made by High Standard for Sears....look for the Model #.
I' ll bet it is 583.something
Not worth much when selling but as someone else has said, I' ll bet it patterns well....especially with that full choke 26 inch tube.
I have one very much like you describe....also in 16 gauge and 2 3/4 inch, but mine is an improved cylinder choke. It throws standard Forter slugs better than any other shotgun I have. I have some others shotguns that shoot sabots better, but nothing touches that old bolt shotgun with standard slugs. Out to 75 yards with the after market iron sights I put on it....it is great.
