Western Field M830 22 Bolt Action

[Chuckie403]

This was the first gun I ever used that my grandfather taught me to shoot with. I have now inherited it and am trying to see if I can get some more information.
1) Who actually manufactured it?
2) can I still get an instruction manual for it?

Hi. Gunparts has a cross reference page on their site. At the bottom. Says your .22 is a Mossberg M340K.
You can get a manual here for $7.95 plus shipping.
Or try www.mossbergcollectors.org

Check this site out http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Brand-Cross-Reference.htm?page=17 it DOESN'T show a model M830, but it does show a 830. Basicly a Mossberg 340k.

This might be what you are looking for,,,

I didn't see a link so I'll post this place,,,
www.rediscovered-shooting-treasures.com.

Here is the manual and hang tag for your specific rifle.

I have a Mossberg 340-KC,,,
I wonder what the difference is between yours and mine?

DOH! http://www.rediscovered-shooting-treasures.com/mossberg.htm
Same guys though. Model number changes were usually about minor things like stock woods or with or without checkering.

Do you want a spare magazine?

Triple-K has new mags for older guns.

I bought one of these for my 340-KC,,,
It worked perfectly.

It specifically lists your rifle as using this magazine.

When I ordered mine I was disappointed because it said back order,,,
But about a month later I saw the charge on my credit card,,,
I had the magazine within 5 days of that.

Anyways,,,
I thought this might be of help,,,
Personally I'm not happy without at least 3 mags.

One magazine = None.

P.S. You should love that Mossie,,,
Mine is extremely accurate at long ranges.
