Does anyone know who made the pump shotguns sold by Sears when they sold firearms? An elderly neighbor brought over a couple pieces for me to sell for him. One is a Sears lever action in 35 Remington. I know they were made by Marlin-Glenfield. But I don't know what manufacturer made the 12ga pump. It is in pristine shape, and has a Polychoke on it...so probably from the 1960s.

Biebs,
Did a quick google search on Sears pump shotguns High Standard made some of them. Hope this helps.

The Blue Book has a cross listing of many store branded models and makers

Yes, i see that both High Standard and Winchester (Model 1200) supplied Sears with pump shotguns, but neither looks like this one. It could be that they made a different-designed forend just for Sears to make it look different. The front of the forend if angled back, like a bevel cut in profile. Not a huge deal...just curious.

Mike, thanks for the tip. The Sears Model 21 was made by High Standard. Case closed :-)

this is handy

Biebs Mossberg made some for them as well.

Savage made the Sears SxS (identical to Stevens 311). It is possible that Savage also built some pumps for Sears, but all I have ever seen in the post-War era were High Standard (earlier) and Winchester 1200 (later).

Biebs, Can you post a pic. Seems like the S&W 916T may have been too. Just can't remember.

God Bless, Louis
