Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
It is worth noting that J.C. Higgins, also known as Sears Roebuck, did not manufacture any firearms after 1916. Instead, they would outsource to manufacturers and select the lowest bidder to provide firearms with their brand name stamped on it. Essentially, these firearms are existing production models sold by established manufacturers under the Sears banner. The lowest bid would usually involve minor cosmetic changes or the use of reserve parts supplies from similar but no longer produced models. Sears uses a code system to identify its products, with the first three digits identifying the manufacturer. For instance, 101 represents Savage, 121 represents Universal Arms, 153 represents Laurona Firearms Co., 273 represents Olin (Winchester), 281 represents Zoli Arms, 282 represents a Brazilian company, 340 represents Ithaca, 583 represents High Standard (Sears was once its primary stockholder), and 870 represents Voere. The digits after the fourth decimal point indicate specific information about the product, such as gauge/caliber, barrel length, metal finish, stock style/finish, and more. In this case, the code 583 indicates a gun supplied by High Standard, but there is no code used by Sears for 583. However, a crosscheck of the list reveals that a Model 583.9 was supplied by Harrington & Richardson, not High Standard. The cross-reference chart indicates that the Model 583.9 (583.91) is an H&R Model 121. The H&R Model 120/121 is a bolt action, tubular feed shotgun made in two gauges: 16 ga (Model 120) and 20 ga (Model 121).
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
