Sears quit selling guns a few months after you bought your rifle. Im 73; raised during my early years in my grandfathers farm in east Texas. Basically, subsistence living. Anyway, I can recall in the 50s the arrival of the Sears and Roebuck catalog was a big event (as was Montgomery Wards). The women of the family would huddle around it and go through it page by page. Btw, back in those days Sears sold guns, boats, motors, cars, houses, and my favorite item which I couldnt afford and never owned, an Allstate motor scooter. Oh well, too late now 😏...

As a kid, the annual Christmas catalog was required reading!

At my grandparents’ house Sears and Monkey Wards arrived usually the same day. I would go first to sporting goods; J.C. Higgins firearms at Sears, Hawthorne guns in Monkey Wards. Couldn’t afford any of them.
Later on I would go to the lingerie section first. Those gals must be great grandmothers now.

...and my favorite item which I couldnt afford and never owned, an Allstate motor scooter. For all intents and purposes, the Allstate scooter was a re-badged Vespa...the motorcycle was a re-badged Puch.
