Public pressure from people who didn't feel it was right for sears to sell guns.. They stopped selling them by 1988. Montgomery Wards and JC Penny also stopped around the same time.

The "New White Powder Wonder" was made by the Crescent Fire Arms Co. if produced before 1919 and by the J. Stevens Arms Co. if it was made after 1919. These were sold by Sears Roebuck company. Parts have not been made in around 100 years, and available parts would be those cannibalized from other guns.
