My Pa bought one of these J. C. Higgins pumpguns for me in 1947 when I was 11. No rib on it, but did come with a recoil pad and a Pachmayr POWR-PAK with three choke sleeves similar to those of a Cutts Compensator.
I killed geese with this near Crab Orchard refuge in Southern Illinois when I was 12 - 14 and many pheasants in Central Illinois when I was in high school. A bit of a clunker for purists, but smooth and reliable- always - for me.
