Need info on Westernfield 30/30

[gunhound]

Hi all, looking for information and parts on a Montgomery Wards Westernfield model M72, 30/30 caliber rifle. I am trying to rebuild it from pieces. (it was disassembled and stored for quite a long time). Was this a copy of another 30/30 in which I may be able to get parts? Any info will be highly appreciated.

A lot of the Western Field leverguns were made by big-name companies like Winchester, Savage, Mossberg, Marlin, etc. As I look at your Western Field model number, M72, it cross-references via the Gun Parts Corporation catalogue to the Mossberg Model 472. They show an abundance of parts for that model Mossberg, if you like, I can scan in that page and send it to you, or post a link to it here, hope this helps!
