    JC Higgins Model 20 12 gauge

    MMA, does your JC Higgins have a PowerPac attached? If so, be aware that Lyman products who acquired Pachmayer does not recommend shooting modern ammunition throught it. They were designed at a time when fiber wads were the norm. There's a possibility that a the plastic wad could get caught...

    only 1 shotgun

    I was set on my JC Higgins model 20 for my HD gun until I came across a Smith & Wesson model 3000 at a local gun shop. It was a police/correction issued 12 gauge, 18 inch barrel and looks hardly used, no ware or handling marks.

    Why do "Home Defense" guns feel so junky?

    Have you ever considered a JC Higgins model 20? I came across one at a gun show, had the powerpac removed, and for the money, this 12 gauge rocks. Take a look at this link. http://www.trapandfield.com/i%20have%20this%20old%20gun.htm I think you'd be surprised how solid the gun is for the...

    What Gauge Remington Model 31

    You can disassemble the gun and look for your answer. Removing the stock and/or trigger assembly may give you a clue. Often parts are stamped with the gauge or give Remington a call Im sure they can help.

    Is it that bad? Trap and skeet people..

    Who cares... what they think....I've seen folks show up with an expensive o/u and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and the average joe with a basic pump dust every clay. It's those pretentious wanna be's that never will be that try and run you off. I love to bring out all of my old...

    New Stevens, need some opinions.

    Let me guess.... parcel post? Holy cow, hairline crack? Im sure you might find an original or at best, a reproduction but your lucky to get away with $50.00. It took me almost six months plus to find a reproduction stock for a Stevens 520 A and that was $80.00. I had that old gun...

    Remington 17A

    Easy stuff... One of my favorite 20 gauge guns in my collection.... Break down is straight forward...similar to the Ithaca 37. The breech bolt is usually the first part that needs to be replaced. If you begin to get the occasional misfires, then you know where to start. Have fun.

    Hardest kicking gun you've ever shot?

    My Remington 11 Riot...anything that is recoiled operated and needs a shoulder to slam to cycle correctly is going to leave a mark.

    Older 870 Wingmaster?

    I too picked up a first years production Wingmaster in a 16 gauge for a couple of hundred. I looked at another 16 gauge earlier that day in a different shop and the owner wanted $450.00... It was worked hard and it showed, needed a little stock work but a great and solid addition to my...

    JC HIggins Model 20/PowerPac-chokes..

    So, what now... Would anyone know, here in the states, who makes the shot shells that contain the fiber wads? It would be a first for me because I've never not known anything but modern loads with the plastic shot wads. Any help would be appreciated.

    JC HIggins Model 20/PowerPac-chokes..

    Lyman returned my email, it reads; "They were designed when fiber and cardboard wads were the norm in shotshell loadings". So, now I need to find if anyone still makes the loads described.

    JC HIggins Model 20/PowerPac-chokes..

    Pump the brakes!! Chaos.... The polychoke isn't intended for use with the PowePac-it needs it's own adapter to be fitted on the end of the barrel or its threaded in. I just bought both of the same guns, one with the polychoke and PowerPac. The PowerPac comes with three different chokes. I'm...

    On Fighting Shotguns....

    My new home defense gun is.... a recently acquired JC Higgins Model 20, 12 gauge. I actually bought two because the price was too good to pass up. Both came with a PowerPac choke system and one was damaged and wasn't worth trying to repair so I recently took it to my gunsmith to cut the...

    JC HIggins Model 20/PowerPac-chokes..

    Yup, thats the one... Aces, Thats the one I'm describing and concerned about....I have the other adjustable choke on a Model 20 I picked up yesterday and haven't shot. This is the PowerPac design and it dosen't read anything on the choke except for "JC Higgins"-I don't have the PowerPac...
