The Mossberg 146B .22 S/LR was first introduced in the early 1940s, specifically around 1947. As of October 2023, this makes the rifle approximately 76 years old. It was designed as a bolt-action rifle and is part of Mossberg's long history of firearm production.

Made from 1949-1954, the Mossberg 146B is a tubular magazine bolt action repeater. It holds 20 LR cartridges, or 30 Shorts. Very nice rifles.
Serial numbers were not required before 1968.
I believe the gun is worth about $200. in excellent condition.
The "manual" for a Mossbery 146B(a) consists of a one page sheet, which is in the link below.

Your western field model 32 is actually a mossberg model 20 or model 21.The mossberg model 20,21 was made by mossberg between the years 1933-1938,for the montgomery wards stores(western field brand name).
Depends on condition and completeness. The rifle had 3 sights- front, rear barrel, rear receiver, and Mossberg quick detach sling swivels. If sights or swivels are missing, they are expensive to replace. Well worn specimen $100, excellent complete specimen $250-$300. Active collector interest in Mossberg 22s from this period. (Nice rifles- have 2 of them)
Gun show, gun shop, want ads, garage sale, pawn shop and yes.
Two POSSIBLE sources come to mind (the 146B has been out of production for a long time now) gunpartscorp.com, which is Numrich Gun Parts, and havlinsales.com. Vic Havlin runs the Mossberg Collectors Assoc, and is pretty much THE man for anything Mossberg. And yes- ANY bolt should be checked by a smith for correct headspace when replacing a factory bolt. Having bad headspace can be dangerous on ANY firearm.
