I own an older Westernfield 12 Ga Pump, essentially a Model 500 but it onl has one pump rod and the forearm does twist a bit. How long can I expect this single arm to last?
From the age of the gun, it seems that they last a LONG time!
I think that for use as a HD gun, it should be OK.
I got the gun for only $100 and did the barrel cut and added a slip on recoil pad for a total of maybe $140 in the gun.
It cycles 3 shells with ease but not 6. Probablly the old hunting configuration got parts worn in a certain pattern?
It's just as easy to load 3, jack one in, and load 1 more giving you 4 total. Reloads one at a time arent hard to do. The gun feeds doubles if I try and load 6. So I just load 3 and jack one in leaving at least 2.
What size woodem dowel fills in for the additional 3 shells for hunting?
Thanks ZVP
