Question Hi,
My father is passing me his never been fired Western Field 20 Gauge, SB-100A, Full Choke, Chambered for 3" (?Magnums?) I cannot seem to find any information on the manufacturer (Stevens,Mossberg, Savage, etc.) for this specific model/gauge. Any assistance in the background of this gun would be appreciated.
Thank you
Answer These were the trademark guns for Montgomery Ward. Your gun was made by Savage/Stevens, so if you needed parts that would be where you would cross-reference. If it is chambered in 3",you may be able to but I would hesitate to use magnums, although they are usually good solid guns. Thanks for the question.
