Western Field was Montgomery Wards' house brand for their sporting goods/firearms. The M550A; B; C and ABD was made by O.F. Mossberg & Sons. It is essentially a Mossberg M500 shotgun. They also made shotguns for Sears Roebuck under the J.C. Higgins housebrand and later the Ted Williams brand -- as well as shotguns for Western Auto under the Revalation brand.
