I bought a jc higgins (sears) 22 auto, new in the box at an auction for $40. That 22 was made by hi standard & no where on the gun or box does it say sears. I'm pretty sure ted wms followed the higgins name. my 22 was made in 1960 or 61.
Yes Matt I bought a polychoke tube for my older 12,it works well on all settings. I also have an old rem model 17 with a poly built onto the barrel and it functions well too. You can PM me with any questions and I'll help if I can. Shoot it at a large piece of cardboard on a couple different settings to see how it patterns. That will give you an idea of how to set it. Full-skeet with the turn of your wrist is a nice feature!
