Western Field Firearms

The gun was made by Noble, and is long obsolete. No aftermarket stocks that I am aware of, so you would have to find a donor gun to strip out. sales@countrygunsmith.net

The Winchester Model 70 XTR with no floor plate is not rare, as some models were produced without a floor plate. The stock being in .270 caliber (G1390) is also not unusual, as this caliber is commonly found for the Model 70. It's a classic rifle with a storied history and is highly regarded among hunters and shooters.

The value of a Wards Western Field 20 gauge shotgun can vary depending on its condition, age, and any unique features. Typically, these shotguns range in value from $100 to $300. It's best to have the shotgun appraised by a firearms expert for an accurate assessment of its worth.

You can try searching online gun stores or auction sites for a new or used bolt for your Western Field 22. Additionally, you can reach out to gunsmiths or firearms parts suppliers who may have the specific bolt you need.

Kimel Industries was a manufacturer and distributor in Matthews North Carolina. Sometime it became AA Arms, then ceased to exist in 1999.

You can try checking with gun shops, outdoor sporting goods stores, or online retailers that specialize in firearm accessories and parts. Additionally, you may find magazines for the Western Field M822A 22 Magnum WMR through websites like GunBroker, MidwayUSA, or Brownells.

Safety buttons for firearms can typically be purchased from the manufacturer or through authorized gun parts dealers. You may also be able to find replacement safety buttons online through reputable gun parts retailers or specialized firearm forums. Make sure to verify compatibility with your specific firearm model before making a purchase.

It is a Mossberg model 85 Made for Montgomery Ward. They were manufactured between 1940 and 1947. They are decent guns. solid, reliable, and consistent.

I have one of the Western Field 38 and after some searching on the internet I found a sight with OLD mossberg catalogs on it. http://home.epix.net/~damguy/catalog.htm it looks like mine is a Mossberg Model 35 with No.3 Peep Sight and and the mulit post ramp sight. I think the No.3 peep was a lower cost option than the micro-click. Mossberg did in fact make that rifle for Montgomery Wards.

An Ithaca with serial number 47162 was manufactured between 1888 and 1901 and is called a Crass model after the designer. It was offered in 9 quality levels in three gauges. 16 gauge guns command a 20% price premium. The value depends on the quality level and the condition. Values range from: Quality Level 1 Poor Fair Good V.G. Exc 100 200 350 500 800 Level 3 100 300 7000 1200 1700 Level 4 100 300 1000 1750 2000

Ward Western rifles from what i have read online (and i have one i am looking for a magazine clip for also) were made for Montgomery Wards by various manufacturers of which one was Mossberg. Check out some old Mossberg models and see if it looks like one of them. I'd swear my Ward Western looks 90% like a Mossberg Model 144, especially when you put the action out of the stock, it is nearly dead on. I sent a pic into a Mossberg expert ( http://www.havlinsales.com ) who sells parts for old Mossbergs. Sorry, not much you can do for obscure 22's. Let me know if you ever find anything more for Wards Western 22's (post back here). My barrel is marked "70" i think. Where is yours marked "36"? Just found this after i posted it.
