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.
it is a mossberg model 500a . the code for western field is pretty easy once you look at a few of them. parts are very easy to find. eBay if you are feeling lucky. or www.e-parts.com for a great company. your shotgun is very popular and there are lots of upgrades out there for it. good luck
