Back in the 1960’s I carved the front of the stock to have a cooler European for-end, but never finished it or stained it. Decades ago the plastic butt plate broke and was replaced with a red rubber boot type that today was found disintegrating. It came back into my life from a relative who had it, but it was in poor condition as the barrel was showing lots of surface rust. It was a great woodchuck rifle! Across the street from my home was a 100 acre field full of chucks! I was in boyhood heaven! My father would give be two high velocity 40 grain bullets to shoot at chucks so I had to make them count. It could shoot 22 Short, 22 Long and 22 Long Rifle ammo and it was very accurate. It was the one that I cut my hunting teeth on as a boy of 11 yrs old. Higgins Sears Roebuck 22 Single Shot Model 103.18 rifle came back into my life.
