I like to find out more about this gun. I just happened across it and now I'd like to investigate it's history. I do know it was sold originally by Sears. I'm not sure of the age.

Welcome to the High Road! I'm sure NG didn't mean to be short, it's just that some questions are a lot easier with some search-engine help. It might also help to try the THR Search, white button on the green band across the top of the forum screen.

Sorry nobody has posted with more detailed individual info yet, but it seems that some of our experts in old-school rifles are a bit distracted this week.

Using the THR Search engine, I found a few threads that might help you out:

Indeed.

Brevity, rather than rudeness, was foremost in my mind as I replied.

I apologize for being brusque, and welcome to THR.
