I would try You-Tube for a video of the procedure first.
I have a wards-westernfield 20 g pump, full choke, These guns were manufactured by Stevens-Savage for MW. Mine was handed down to me by my father and was purchased in 1945. So it's at least that old, 64 years. Hope this helps.
A Westernfield M72 (actually a M72C) is a Mossberg Model 472. You might try http://www.krausebooks.com/category/firearms_knives for disassembly instructions for the Mossberg 472 in the Gun Digest Sporting Rifle Assembly/Disassembly book.
Westernfield was a "store brand" used by Montgomery Ward. Other companies such as Savage, Mossberg, and Marlin made the firearms, but marked them with the Westernfield name. The gunpartscorp website (large seller of gun parts) has a cross reference chart- find the model number of your rifle, go to the chart, scroll down to Montgomery Ward, find your model number, read across to find the maker and the original model number. THEN you will know which stock you are seeking, and can shop at gunpartscorp, or order one from the original maker IF they are still in business, and it is available. Good luck!
What Model 51 pistol or a rifle and what model?
whe WesternField m782 is a scaled down version of the mossberg 800 thus making it werth less than its big brother. if your piece is excellent you couldent get hurt as long as you dont invest more than $225
don't take down a Winchester model 52, the way they bedded the rifle was a mystery. It may never shoot the same if you take it apart.
The Model 30 is a take-down gun, with the serial # on the lower tang behind the trigger guard, and alson on the barrel, once removed from the frame. I believe the gun is a Stevens 520 or 620 with Wards name on it.
Rifle, handgun or shotgun?
Gamo never made a Sniper model rifle. It depends on the model, each one is different. You need to locate the model number and ask your question again.
Your western field model 35 was made for montgomery wards by mossberg.There model number is the mossberg model 30.If you can locate the breakdown of the mossberg model 30,you are in business.I would write,or e-mail mossberg.
Send me your email address & I can send you a scan of the break down & original manual.
hello, the lever action 30-30 would be a Marlin 336 made for the Westernfield but I see you're askin about the M72. I awesternm pretty sure its the Marlin again, perhaps more closer to Marlin Glenfield. No, this is actually a version of the Mossberg Model 472 lever-action .30/30, not the Marlin. You have to remember that Montgomery Wards had a long-standing business relationship with Mossberg. Wards originally did buy lever-action rifles from Marlin, which were marked as the Western Field Model 33, but in 1971 the Wards buyers contacted Mossberg management about designing a lever-action for the Wards Western Field label. Mossberg took on the project and with collaboration from the gun design group at Belmore-Johnson had a prototype ready within the year. Wards management liked the prototype and a large contract was issued for the gun, which became the Mossberg Model 472. Interestingly enough, the gun did not appear under the Mossberg brand until 1974 - Wards got the first rifles two years earlier. It was produced until 1979, replaced by the Model 479. So, the Western Field Models 72, 72C, 771, 772, 777 and 778 are all variants of the Mossberg 472. 'Revelation' Model 205 and 207 (Western Auto) are also Mossberg 472's. The specific Model 72 is a 24" barrel .30/30 with pistol grip stock, a private-branded 472PRA. Although the Mossberg 472 and the Marlin 336 have a similar appearance to the novice, all you have to do is work the lever. The Mossberg trigger rotates down with the lever, whereas the Marlin trigger remains in the receiver. sales@countrygunsmith.net
