Tonight on “This old shotgun” with Cranky Gun Reviews, the JC Higgins Model 20 pump action shotgun!
This video features a review of the JC Higgins Model 20 pump-action shotgun, manufactured by High Standard between the 1940s and 1960s. The reviewer highlights specific features of their 1961 Model 583.58, including it being the premium variant with a jeweled bolt, vent rib, and stock initial plate. The shotgun has a 22-inch barrel with a JC Higgins power pack choke/compensator (making the total barrel length 26 inches), a milled steel receiver, a smooth action, and a 5+1 capacity for 2 3/4" 12 gauge shells. The reviewer touches on its historical significance as a pre-1968 firearm without a serial number and its place in their blued/walnut pump-action and Sears gun collection.
