Western Field Pump
I have an old Western Field Model 60 20GA shotgun. I know that almost all Westernfields were made by other gun makers for Montgomery Wards and are just a no frills version of more name brands. I want to get a new stock and forearm for my westernfield and I need to know what company made this model for Montgomery Wards. I know that many people think that the gun is not worth fixing up since most are worth about 150 bucks, but it was a gift given to me by my late uncle when I was a boy and I would like to fix it up nice mainly for sentimental value. So if some one could help me out on this I would appreciate it. If no one knows who made it for wards maybe you can tell me where I can find a place that would have new wood for it.

IT'S WHAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEMSELVES THAT MAKES THEM AFRAID.0 -
I inherited my Fathers cherished Western Field 12 ga pump with raised rib. Its about 6 inches shorter than my Stevens and Ithaca. Gun only failed once in all the years he and I used it. Sent a letter to "Shooting Times" the put the reply in the magazine. Made by Browning for Montgomery Wards.[It has a Browning patent number stamped into the metal above the trigger guard] No collector value but a well made quality shooter. Their advice: Hang onto it. Keep it in the family. My son has it now. 0 -
As for parts. If you can somehow verify the maker and model try Numrich. 0 -
The site you are looking for is www.e-gunparts.com This is the old Numrich, now Gun Parts Corp. (sold a couple years ago). Many times they have the 'generic' listings and exploded diagrams for some(some you have to pay for). As the others have said, if a model 60, should be a Savage 620A, if a model M60, a Savage 620 Delux, if a model M060 its a Stevens 620. Usually the different models like this is a difference in grade and type of wood and checkering or not. 0
