Manufacturer: J.C. Higgins Type: Rifle Model: 103.229 Caliber: 22 LR Barrel Length: 24" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3394 Serial Number (S/N): N/A Reference Number (Ref #): 004 Notes: A J.C. Higgins Model 103.229 chambered in .22 LR with a 24" barrel and bolt-action action. Favored by many for small game hunting and recreational target shooting, offering a balance of reliability and straightforward handling. This bolt-action rifle features a blued steel receiver paired with a blued steel barrel and a traditional hardwood stock that provides a solid and comfortable shooting platform. The sighting system consists of iron sights, including a fixed front sight and an adjustable rear sight, and the rifle is not optic-ready as configured. Controls and functional elements include a manually operated bolt, a single trigger, and a tubular magazine system housed beneath the barrel, loaded from the front or via the loading port depending on configuration, with no detachable magazine present. The .22 LR chambering delivers consistent accuracy with minimal recoil, making it practical for extended range sessions, training new shooters, or casual plinking. Its mild report and economical ammunition further enhance its appeal as a versatile rimfire option. Condition appears good with moderate surface wear consistent with regular but careful use. The wood stock shows handling marks typical of age, while the metal finish remains presentable. Bore condition appears serviceable under visible inspection, and no major cosmetic defects present.
