Aside from the Stevens 320 Field/Security Combo, I also have a J.C. Higgins Model 20 Pump 12 Gauge that was my grandfather's.

Took both out today to do clay shooting & pheasant hunting.

Both performed well in the field well.

I need to break a few of mine out and blow the dust out of the bores. More importantly, I need to see if my chamber polishing job fixed the jamming issue on my 16ga BPS with the cheap Herter's shells. If not it's getting sold and I'll find me a 16ga SxS to buy.

JC HIGGINS, was of coarse a brand name sold exclusivly by Sears Roebuck.
When i was a young kid, going to Sears was a family event.
My first shotgun was a single shot bolt action 20 gauge Ranger, also a Sears brand.
They also marketed a Ted Williams model almost everything sports related, including guns.
It will sadly soon be said, does anybody remember Sears?

Sold Sears some muskrat and coon hides a couple times back in the early 50's. They had a little catalog and fur shipping tags in the catalog-"Tips to Trappers".
