J.C. Higgins rifle/Sears

Post by The Wiz » Mon Aug 30, 2021 1:00 pm

My son is attempting to restore the above .22 bolt action rifle that was dropped off at the gun shop he works at. It was in pieces and nobody wanted to mess with it, so he thought he give it a try. He thinks he has all the pieces except one. That is the magazine. Can not find an original on the web. He has been told that a Martin Model 80 mag will work. I believe He has no luck locating that either. So I told him I would tap in to the vast knowledge on this forum and see if you members could help. All is not lost as there is a mod. kit that will turn it into a single shot and make it look nice and pretty. Thanks for you help.

Does it have a model #?
If the model 80 will work, then the model 780 mag also as they look similar.

Looking in my Brophy's book the lowest m# for a bolt action is 15.
There were some A1 models but they were semi-auto.
