Western Field

[Sabesimpson]

Ok guys, some info would help me out here, I have a western field .22 rifle in fair condition, from what I understand it was built for montgomery ward's.
Does anyone have some info on this? The safety seems to be frozen but the rest of it works, like the bolt, etc. I think it's a really neat little rifle.
Pics to come....
Says .22 short, .22long, .22LR only as automatic.
Pretty interesting

Thanks for the info

I removed the stock and found no other markings other then

Apparently made by Stevens.Same as their model 87A.

Looks like a nice old gun.

The thing is really nice considering it was in a friends garage in blanket for a "very long" time according to him.
I lubed it up a bit and everything seems to work.
I now need to clean the crap out of it and try it out.

Parts for a Savage 6A also the same according to "the net".

It looks like the Stevens 87A (gill gun) I got from my Dad. Neat little gun, although mine isn't very accurate. If using shorts and longs you can push the charging handle in to make it a single shot, or pull it out for longrifle and it is semi auto.

looks like my Sears Ranger made by Savage/Stevens/Springfield.

Like Joe47 said they call them Gill guns or Clackity Clacks.

they're fun to shoot
