Introducing the J.C. Higgins Model 20 Pump-Action Shotgun, a timeless piece of American firearm history. Manufactured in the United States between 1941 and 1962, this 12-gauge shotgun is renowned for its reliability and affordability. The Model 20 is a collector's item that showcases the high-quality workmanship and attention to detail that characterised mid-20th century firearm production.
The Model 20 offers a fair overall condition, showing signs of prior use and handling that only add to its charm. The receiver and barrel sport a blued finish, which, despite showing signs of fading, still provides a layer of corrosion resistance. The walnut furniture, featuring checkering on the forend and around the grip, adds a touch of elegance. The rubber recoil pad on the stock has hardened over time, a testament to its years of service. The bore condition is excellent, ensuring optimal performance.
Boasting a 5+1 capacity, the Model 20 is a versatile firearm. Its 22" barrel features a Vent Rib, and the gun uses a 2 3/4" chamber. It comes equipped with a front brass bead sight for precision and a Poly-Choke for versatility. The 14" length of pull makes it comfortable to handle for most shooters.
