I can't figure out how to remove the bolt from the the gun for proper cleaning.
Anyone out there can halp?
Google yields not much info, doesn't seem to be a very popular gun.

Open the bolt and pull it open about half an inch, then, as you slowly side the bolt back pull the trigger as far back as it will go.
Many inexpensive bolt action firearms used an extension on the trigger as the bolt stop.

Do some research online before you shoot it though. Some of the bolt action 12g guns were under a recall for faulty locking lugs. Folks had the bolts ejected into their faces. I'm pretty certain the recall was for the JC Higgens line, but Mossberg and a few other companies made the guns for Sears. BTW, if you have an affected Higgens bolt action 12g, I think Sears still pays a $100 bounty for the bolts.

She's out and ready for scrubbin'.
Thanks guys.
I'll be sure to do that research about the locking lugs. We haven't fired it yet and it'll probably be a while.
Thanks!

However, the drawing of the trigger looks VERY much the same as the triggers on the inexpensive Mossberg .22s that retained the bolt with a trigger extension.

This is the recall I was speaking of: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/01-04-2006/0004242749&EDATE=
Looks like they reduced the bounty from a $160 cash fee to a $50 gift card.

Thanks bro!
Srsly, that's a lot of good info.
But now here's the big question.
Can I get 30 round mags for it?
Also, she has Mossberg clearly printed on the barrel.

Biggest I've ever seen was, I think, a 10-rounder.
A 30-round magazine?
The weight of the shells on the follower would probably be so great that the spring wouldn't be able to lift them.
If the spring was strong enough to lift the shells, it would probably be virtually impossible to load the magazine.

Now's the time to upgrade it to the 1 Gb model.

I need a lot more than RAM...
TMI!
Post by: Mabs2 on June 22, 2007, 05:37:59 AM
I need a processor, a video card, a mobo, a power supply, a life, and a sound card.
It's a sad sad situation.
I also bought a bad Lite On drive and kept it thinking I could fix it.

You might want to tie a string to the bolt handle though, so you can make faster follow-up shots.
Post by: Mabs2 on June 22, 2007, 01:58:20 PM
You're supposed to move your head away from the stock right before you pull the trigger, so that the bolt can whiz harmlessly back past your ear.
You might want to tie a string to the bolt handle though, so you can make faster follow-up shots.
This man is a genius!
