Identify this Western Field 410
I need help identifying the manufacturer and model of this magazine/clip fed bolt action 410. The only markings are'WESTERN FIELD' over '410 GAUGE' on the barrel. The magazine/clip is missing so I am not sure if it is fixed or removable. Any info will be appreciated.

By "magazine fed", are you saying tube fed, or detachable magazine?
I just got a bolt action, tube fed J.C. Higgins 410. Found out at our last gun show that it is a Stevens. The bolt looks just like yours.

This does not have a tube. The clip either attaches permanently to the receiver or is removeable. What model is your gun? 0 -
It would be of a great help if you just gave the model number stampedEon the gun instead of all those photographs. Many of us have cross reference lists that cross a "Store Brand Name" or model to who made the gun and the original model name or number. 0 -
Once had a 20 gauge Mossberg that had the same style of ejector spring on the left side of the action. Never had a bolt for it so I cannot comment on the bolt. If your shotgun turns out to be a Mossberg it will have a stamped metal housing for the magazine.
Yours sure looks like the one here (and a mag is still available in 410): http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Mossberg-33399/Shotguns-37443/83B-41928.htm The schematic has the ejector spring shown too.0 -

If it is not something that the rim of the cartridge/shell is inserted into, to either insert in a magazine, or cylinder of a revolver, then it is a MAGAZINE, not a clip. Clips hold ammunition externally, magazines internally.
It looks like that particular firearm was made for Western Auto hardware stores, by either, Marlin, Mossberg or Savage. Marlin, if I am not mistaken was the only one who used a box magazine to feed the 410 bore bolt action, shotgun. I do believe it was detachable, as I do not recall seeing any blind magazines on those(Upon further research, I found that Marlin only had a single shot, and this was indeed an OF Mossberg). I know it(the one in your pictures) was not tube fed, as the hardware on the firearm for hanging the stock, does not permit the use of a magazine tube.
However, upon further research, I did discover that OF MOSSBERG, & Sons, did make a Model 80, that had a top feed blind magazine. They did make it for Western Auto, and the Model number was 103.2840.

Western Field was a trade name for Montgomery Ward. "Revelation" was a common trade name for Western Auto. Mossberg made guns for both outfits. 0 -
There is also the possibility that the gun is a Mossberg and a box magazine repeater.
This is speculation based on research from Hoosier Gun Works cross reference list and Gun Parts Catalog.0 -

I also have several crossover lists. They are of no use in this case. As I stated in my original post: The only markings on this gun are: 'WESTERN FIELD' over '410 GAUGE'. There is no model #, that is why I posted all the pictures, so maby someone could identify the model # from the pictures! Thanks10 -

This is the best guess I have seen. However the trigger is shaped a little different and mine has a notched rear sight which I do not see in this cchematic. I AM convinced that mine was manufactured by Mossberg, just not sure of model number. Thanks!0 -
Anyone have a definate model number? 0
