Sears model 80 22lr semi auto?

[stickbow]

Was wondering if anyone has any info on the Sears model 80.
On the barrel it says Sears model #80,LR only,made in Canada for simpson sears.
It is a clip fed semiauto. I'm trying to find a clip for it but can't find any info on this rifle.
Any info would be appreciated.......................Thanks J

Smart move!

It may be the Winchester Model 74, 14-shot magazine, .22 LR :

I don't think any Winchester Model 74s were sold as house branded guns. From looking at those cross-reference charts, I would say that Winchester didn't get into making house brand guns until the post-'64 era.

Marlin, then?

There are a few Sears-branded versions of the Marlin Model 80, but this is a bolt action .22.

Given that the rifle in question is made in Canada and has a detachable magazine, I wonder if it is a Cooey Model 64, which has also been manufactured by Lakefield and Savage.

without pics, it is really hard to guess what it is. My diggings showed it as a JCHiggins pistol.

Quite possibly it is stamped sears 8C and an overstamp to obscure what it really is.

I think the OP said the rifle in question was/is a semi-automatic?

IIRC, the Sears 6C was the "alternative name" for the semi-automatic Cooey 64.....not the Sears 80?

I forgot to ask if it was a rifle or pistol...........we need more info?

The Sears 6C was a Canadian made Cooey 64 but in the USA there was a Sears 6C that was entirely different than the cooey 64. I googled and found a picture of this USA made Sears 6C

I also have a Sears 8C which is identical to all the Cooey 64s I also have in Cooey 64, 64A and 64B by Lakefield.

That's right. That would eliminate the Marlin Model 80.

x2 in my opinion

Does it look like this? (my guess the "C" is interpreted as a "0", hence 8C becomes 80). If so, indeed a Cooey model 64, Savage 64G mags should be your dad's brother Robert.
