OK, I'm at a loss.
Stumbling around my fav gunshop, I notice this shotgun in a rack.
Seems to have been there forever.
It's a Westfield; 12 ga, bottom ejector pump with some sort of factory turn-adjustable choke on the muzzle. Maybe a 5 shot cap?????? Anyway, it's marked $90. Guess it's 28".

A search here turned up "Westfield" only as the savage plant in Mass. Anyone ever here of these????:confused:
 
Like JC Higgins and Ted Williams guns, Western Field and later Westfield were made by varied makers for the chain stores, Sears, Monkey Ward, etc.

IIRC,Savage had a bottom ejector pump at one point that was not a total junker but had some probs. Down on Harley's forum they can nail it down better.

If you get the OK there, it might be a decent light duty field gun. The price is attractice, but there may be a worm in the apple.
 
Shootin in public with a bottom ejector will break one of short strokin real quick.:D

Thanks for the Westfield tie in Dave. New one on me.

I have a Western Field 12 guage I bought at a pawn shop for $125 bucks. Chopped the barrel off myself and now have a great home/woods 12 gauge. It's simply a Mossberg that was marketed through monkey wards. Best, J. Parker
 
Thanks, guys.
I'll be back at the store Wed or Thurs; try to get a serial # and such. Gun was well worn; racking grooves, disapearing blue, etc.
Was considering chopping the barrel; might be a fun piece for the money IF there are no worms in the apple.;) Letcha know.....
