Western Field Firearms

You will need a cleaning kit (rod, .22 brush, patch holder, patches, powder solvent such as Hoppes #9, and a light oil)

Insure that the rifle is UNLOADED. Then check it again.

There are 2 different models of the 351. One has a front barrel band. If yours has that, remove the front sling swivel to release the band. Then remove the takedown screw under the forearm. Lift the action from the stock, and set stock aside.

Unscrew the plug at the rear of the action- exercise care, there is a compressed spring under there. Release it gently, set plug aside. Using operating handle, draw bolt to rear. Line up handle with opening, pull handle out. Grasp the spring at the rear (it was under the plug) pull spring and bolt out of the rear of the action. Avoid further disassembly.

Clean the bore by wetting a patch with solvent, push through the barrel from the rear, out the muzzle, and remove it. Let bore soak for 5 minutes. Attach brush to rod, push in from rear, all the way through, then all the way back- 10 times. Remove brush. Use patch holder to push clean patch through from rear, out the muzzle, discard. Repeat 3-4 times until patch is clean.

Wet patch with solvent, wipe the exterior of the bolt, bolt face, dry with clean patch. Use several patches wet with solvent to wipe the inside of the action, dry.

Lightly oil bolt/ firing pin/ extractors on bolt- just a drop or two. Use patch with solvent to wipe outside of action and barrel, dry. Wipe with oily cloth.

To re-assemble, slide bolt and spring forward (may need to hold trigger down to insert) line up hole in bolt with hole in receiver, insert handle, push bolt forward. Compress the spring, screw plug in place at rear. Place action in stock, tighten screws.

NOTE- if bolt requires internal cleaning from severe fouling, suggest you use a spray cleaner like Gunscrubber.

Your westernfield model M780 was made by mossberg.The mossberg model number is mossberg model 800A.

mid 1900's westernfield(mossberg) 12gauge boltaction. in nice condition is worth about 160.00$...up or down.

No they where not made in Turkey, They are USA made by the Stevens/Savage Arms Co. from the early to mid 1900s. Good all around CHEAP single shot shotguns

I have looked just about every where with no results except for finding

a good comparison-The Heym Magnum Express.They are the same exact

rifle,except for trigger and caliber.The Magnum is listing for around $5750.00. I beleive that you have a mossberg model 800 which was made for Montgomery Wards(Western Field).this was chambered in .308 win.and had a 22in barrel,bolt action,checkered pistol grip stock.This was made in 1967 and discontinued in the year 1970.The current value of these rifles is between 150-275 dollars depending on overall condition and a good bore.

Depends on the grade of the gun, and the condition. Pape was like a lot of makers in the time period, they made a lot of lower grade (but well built) guns, but also had the skill to make a very high grade gun if a customer wanted one.

not sure, but I thinks it's a 22 cal...............

Western field 12 gauge single shot shotgun serial #82719 x G...age and value/

I just bought one, there worth a little less than $140

Yes, it is, made around 1930-32

It's the factory "PROOF" testing stamp

If yours is a single shot .22, it was made for Montgomery Wards by Noble- and it is a Noble Model 10.

Savage made it for Montgomery Ward. It's the same as the Savage 840.

The Western Field M160 is the Model 385T 20 GA made by Mossberg. These models were only manufactured in 1982. The Mossberg Model 395 is the 12 GA version. More info at: http://home.epix.net/~damguy/mossberg_shotgun_models.htm
