Where can you find a schematic for a Western Field M550ABD with a C-Lect choke?

Answer 1

Western Field was a firearms brand adopted by Montgomery Ward (although they also marketed firearms under the brand name "Wards"). The guns were manufactured by various larger firearms companies including Colt, Marlin, Mossberg Remington, Savage, Stevens, and several others. The guns made for Montgomery Ward were, essentially, copies of the major manufacturer models, branded with the "Western Field" brand name, and a model number specific to the Western Field brand.

The Western Field Model 550ABD was manufactured by Mossberg for Montgomery Ward (Mossberg also made guns for Sears and Western Auto), and are identical to the Mossberg 500 series shotguns.

Schematic diagrams for the Western Field are not abundantly available, but the parts diagram for the Mossberg Model 500 is available on the Mossberg web site at:

You can also try contacting Havlin Sales and Service. They stock and sell Mossberg gun parts, and specialize in the out-of-production Mossberg guns. They also operate the National Mossberg Collectors Association, and are a wealth of information on anything Mossberg.

Since Montgomery Ward is no longer in business, your only other option would be a reproduction manual. Rediscovered Shooting Treasures specializes in manual reproductions for out-of-production guns. If they don't have it on their web site, you could e-mail them and see if its something that they could do.

If all else fails, get the Mossberg 500 Manual. It is the same gun, and all parts are interchangable.
