It was a rental gun at a gas station in SD, and he bought it from them after having rented it for road hunting a number of times back in the 30's.

Higgins---<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._C._Higgins<br /><br />The model 50 and 51 were every bit as good as the Winchester model 70. They were referred to as "the Cadillac rifle with the dime store pedigree".RHT447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-28775093734956408832017-07-06T08:32:33.132-05:002017-07-06T08:32:33.132-05:00A suggestion for further utility is to use reduced...A suggestion for further utility is to use reduced recoil loads. At standard for defence ranges the penetration is the same as full power loads and the second shot is much faster. It is easier on aging bodies and old backs also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-55808481652117376562017-07-06T07:22:12.281-05:002017-07-06T07:22:12.281-05:00Joe does good work, and that thing looks sweet.Joe does good work, and that thing looks sweet.DaddyBearhttp://daddybearsden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-16379397521078060572017-07-06T05:05:54.874-05:002017-07-06T05:05:54.874-05:00That is a very cool take-down feature I have never...That is a very cool take-down feature I have never seen before.

Not as short as your firearm though.

On the other hand, this project wasn't undertaken for economic reasons. It gives me peace of mind while traveling to know that, if necessary, I have something powerful as my primary close-quarters weapon, backed up by my handgun and spare magazines. With those tools, my wife and I are better positioned to survive an unexpected and unwanted encounter. That's worth a lot more than mere money to me!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-69790588233137799002017-07-05T21:12:16.276-05:002017-07-05T21:12:16.276-05:00I recently completed a similar project on an inter...I recently completed a similar project on an interwar commercial Stevens 620.
