The Western Field model 880 was made by Colt. It was the Colt Colteer semi-automatic .22 LR rifle.
Not certain, but I THINK your rifle may be a Colt Colteer semi automatic, made for Montgomery Wards under their Western Field label. Some of the cross reference data is spotty. Google images for Colteer, and see if it is similar to your rifle.
i have recently obtained this gun, it was my Great Grandfather's. i went to a gun store and the lady told me that this gun was made during WWII and it was discontinued 6 months after WWII. thats about all i know, hope it helps
Provide a detailed description of all markings and pictures.
any part off a colteer 1-22 will work. or a western field 807a-ech is the same gun. i too have a 804a-ech and there is no info about this gun its almost as if it was never made. colteer 1-22 parts are hard to find (made from 1957-1966) and only 25000 were ever made.
Colt. That is a Colt Colteer 1-22.
Believe that cross references to the Colt Colteer .22 semi-auto rilfe. If so, it hold 15 cartridges.
I have a single shot 22 western field Model xnh 804. I got it for Christmas when I was 9 years old and I am now 53, so I have had it for 44 years. It still shoots well, but the ejecter clip has broken and I would like to find a replacement part. I hope this helps you determine the age of your gun. Thanks.
