I just bought one at a garage sale (same make and model) but the "plunger" is broken. If you get a source of parts let me know Answer All of the "Cactus Carbines" were made for Sears by Daisy. Any reputable Daisy repairman can fix you up.
Which model. If the model number starts with 126 it was made by Crosman if it starts with 799 it was made by Daisy.
Check the model number. If it starts with 799. it was made by Daisy. If it starts with 126. it was made by Crosman. If it is a Crosman (126.) model then Crosman offers a locater service (Free) to locate repair shops that repair older Crosman airguns. If it's a Daisy (799) model then I suggest you contact Daisy and ask them.. See the two links below.
This appears to be a 1894 Winchester style rifle made by Daisy. All 799.xxxx JC Higgins were made for sears by Daisy air rifle. Crosman made all 126.xxxx rifles for Sears under the JC Higgins name. Your particular rifle was made between 1952 & 1955
If this is a BB gun, then there are numbers associated with it. They start with 799 or 126. I need these numbers to Identify who made the rifle and it will also Identify the model.
I only have some information for you. Any JC Higgins air pistol that begins with model 126 was made by Crosman air gun. Any model that starts with 799 was made by Daisy air gun. I suggest you click the Crosman link below and check the owners manuals to try to locate your pistol. Then re-post the Crosman model number along with the condition of the pistol to get an estimate of value.
It was made by Crosman air gun co. Any JC Higgins air gun that starts with model # 126 is a Crosman any model that starts with # 799 was made by Daisy. Your model is most likely a Crosman model 180. If I am correct about the Crosman model 180, then here is the link to the Owners manual (See Below) The model 180 was made between 1956-1967
The 799.xxxxx series air rifles were made by Daisy for Sears. This appears to be a Model 1894 Cactus Carbine. In very good condition it is worth about $45 in excellent condition it is worth about $85.
JC Higgins air rifles were made by Crosman and Daisy air gun. Models 126 were made by Crosman and models 799 were made by Daisy. If you have a model you are wondering about, post the model number and I will try to answer it. BUT give a description of the condition of the gun or rifle and if it is still working. The more information the better chance I will have at placing a value on it.
Daisy provides a web page to help you get more information about your gun. ( Daisy made air guns for sears that began with the numbers 799. ) I believe this is the Cactus Carbine model see the link below
It was made between 1972- 1989 by Daisy. It's a Daisy model 880 made for Sears.
JC Higgins sold over a dozen air rifles made by Daisy and Crosman. Which one are you asking about? I am asking about model # A302688 made in the 1950ies? All the Daisy models began with 799.xxxxx and all the Crosman models started with 126.xxxxx. I believe #A302688 is a serial number and not a model number. If you can locate either 126. or 799. on the rifle that will give more information as to the identify of who made it. Also please state the current condition of the rifle, is it still working? Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition. The current condition determines much of the value. I do not have a listing of every model made for sears (JC HIggins) But I'll help you if I can. Here's an example. 126.19041 is really a Crosman V350 and in good condition is worth around $70 to $85. I would lean toward the $70 because it's a JC Higgins model and not as desirable as a Crosman model. Even though it's was made by Crosman.
