    There was a recent posting about a recall on a Sears bolt action 12 Ga. shotgun. I can't find it, so if anyone knows about this, please repost the details.

    Thanks

    (Copy of orginal recall notice)Sears, Roebuck and Co.
    today announced a voluntary recall of J.C. Higgins Bolt Action
    12-Gauge shotguns, a product manufactured for and sold by the company during
    the 1950s.
    The shotguns are being voluntary recalled due to a potential problem with
    the bolt latch assembly, which could cause the assembly to fail allowing it to
    dislodge and strike the operator in the face. Sears is offering a $160
    finders' fee for the return of the bolt, making the shotgun inoperable.
    The shotguns were sold in Sears stores and through its catalog as the
    "J.C. Higgins Bolt Action 12-Gauge Model 10 Shotgun" during the 1950s. It was
    carried under a number of product numbers: 583.13, 583.14, 583.15, 583.16,
    583.17, 583.18, 583.19, 583.20, 583.21 and 583.22. The product model number
    is engraved on the barrel of the shotgun.
    Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the shotgun. Call
    800-817-9165 for identification verification and instructions on return
    procedures.
    Sears, Roebuck and Co. discontinued the sale of all firearms and
    ammunition in the early 1980s. Through its network of more than 830 full-line
    stores and 2,500 off-the-mall stores, Sears is a leading retailer of apparel,
    home and automotive products and services, serving more than 50 million
    households.
