Talk:J.C. Higgins Shotgun Series

Flight King

I removed the comment about the Model 20 being a field grade Flight King. I have both guns and they look nothing alike. Everything from the magazine tube end cap to the ejection port to the receiver to the bolt are different. Since they look like completely different shotguns, one cannot be said to be the same as another. Now there maybe a High Standard model which looks identical, knowing that HS made a lot of shotgun variants, but currently that is undetermined. MoviePropMaster2008 19:37, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Just curious

Was the Ted Williams model named after Ted Williams the ballplayer? I knew he was a great outdoorsman, but I always thought more of a fisherman than a shooter. --Funkychinaman 22:44, 29 October 2011 (CDT)

Yes. Sears carried various sports and outdoor items with Ted Williams name on them for many years. Back in 1979, when I was 11, I purchased my first set of weights from Sears. Ted Williams name was on every plate. Four years later (1983) I purchased another set from Sears and his name was nowhere to be found in the store. --Jcordell (talk) 18:34, 20 August 2013 (EDT)
