Default Help identifying this old .22

Found in an attic, I'm out of state and I can't identify it, but my dad sent me pictures. Your help is much appreciated.

Looks like a Marlin 100.

My guess would be Sears J.C. Higgins 103.18, which was made by Marlin.

They aren't valuable money wise, but they are excellent shooters. I've got a 1960's era Sears and it is a tack driver. Marlin made most of Sears .22's, so whether it's a Marlin 100 or Sears 103 they are pretty much the same gun.

Not looking to sell. I was in the market for a .22 as I've never had one before. Should be a good time.

There are some parts available, and it's worth restoring. I have a 101, it's sister, mine is circa 1962. I would love to get my hands on a 100.

Liking that one, how's she shoot?

Hehe. That's something funny about CA. Lots of people will have a 9mm handgun or AR15 before getting a 22 LR. Most other places in the US were raised on a steady diet of 22 and 12ga before ever touching a 9mm or 223. Guess that could be true of most urban vs rural areas though.

Nice little gun though. I like cheaper old guns like that if they work well. Don't have to worry about dinging the stock or wear and tear. I've got a couple of older Sears shotguns. They work well even though they're barely worth the hassle of selling if I were so inclined. I'd pick up a Sears .22 in a second if the price was right.

We used those or ones similar to those when teaching Boy Scouts marksmanship...

They work well.... having to manually cock the bolt before each shot seems to help slow the kids down between shots....

Yep I had a Marlin that looked just like that as a kid. Single shot bolt action so it wasn't what my friends considered cool but it was very accurate and when you only get one shot you take the time to aim so I could out shoot any of them with their semi autos.
