    JC Higgins 583 bolt action shotgun recall?

    I've read about this in several places. I see a lot of these selling cheap and was wondering if any body has had one actually fail or know of some one who has? I like bolt action anything and these shotguns interest me.

    they won't "fail" if ya pay attention to what yer doin'. but they can fire with the bolt raised far enough up to possibly make things excitin'. which is the reason for the recall. don't know what they're goin' for now but a few years back Sears was payin' $140.00 each for just the bolts out of them & they sent ya a prepaid box to ship'em in.

    Anybody know how to repair the trigger? The return spring in mine came out and now I have to hold the trigger forward to cock the darn thing.
