The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Sears rifle sold under "JC Higgins" moniker

I had personally assigned an estimated valuation of $80.00 to the rifle. My estimate appears rather accurate, based on the feedback provided here.

Now let's see what Marlin can produce, with respect to my request for an Owner's Manual.

Yes, firearms were not the only items to be branded with the "JC Higgins" name. Wouldn't it be surreal to walk into a Sears today and purchase a rifle with 'Craftsman' stamped into the barrel?

(I'm a Snap-On man myself.)

Thanks again,
TM
