Found a Shotgun Today in my Late Father In Law's RV...

[CCC23]

Don't know anything on it but what I have found on Google...
It's says JC Higgins/Sears Robuck Model 20 / 12g Pump. It has a crazy choke on the end of the barrel.
Overall condition is pretty good. Best I can tell it was made in the 1950s.
Anyone know much of these??

No one knows anything on this gun? Does it have any value?
Id like to add at tactical style stock & fore grip but can find any accessories labeled "to fit"
Any gunsmiths or guys that can custom fit accessories?

I have an old sears bolt action 12 gauge. Great shotgun. I don't think they're worth much but if I were you I would just leave it as is and enjoy it.

Thanks for the info

Look on the buttplate and it will probably say Winchester or Remington. Winchester made most of Sears guns back then. Do a google search for a cross-reference table for private branded firearms. It will tell you what Winchester model was the same gun. That might help you find accessories for it.
Without seeing it, I would say the value is probably $150 or less. Store-branded guns normally don't bring that much.

Good info

does it have a vari choke where you turn it to set the choke??

 

[CCC23]

Yes it does

 

[FrankT]

seems like alot of the old guns have those.

I had one of those at one time years ago. Fine little gun but to be honest Id keep it stock for sentimental reasons(if you choose). Otherwise sell it and fund a model 88 and u can get all kinds of tac stuff for it..JMHO

 

[CCC23]

No sentimental value.
With no parts available, i would be interested in selling or trading.
Trade value at 150/ Cash 100 -both OBO if anyone is interested.

I'll do $100 if it's in decent shape. Sending a pm.

Ithaca also made some shotguns for Sears. Either way, its a good gun.

A decent picture of the action and forend would go a long way tward I.D. ing the maker. Sears did have winchester make some of their guns. If it were a model 12 with the "cutts" compensator (original) it could be a sleeper as far as value goes. Gibson guitars made many of the sears "silvertone" electric guitars in the 50s, 60s,
and 70s and they're quite valueable.

It says JC Higgins / Sears Robuck 20-12 stamped on the gun.
If I emailed you or texted a picture, could you upload in?

 

[FrankT]

I think the gun it worth more than 150 so would get more info before selling, after looking the price is right at 100 to 150. sure send me a pic and I will load it here.
The choke is a j.c. higgins power-pac if it has 6 holes front barrel to end all around the choke.

583 on a Sears Roebuck gun means it was manufactured by Hi Standard,

Can you PM me your email or i can text.
It does say 583
