Greetings folks.
Any other gun nuts here on the forum?
As a home project I have been overhauling this gun. It is made by Western field and it is a bolt action .410 bore with a 5 round, non-detachable magazine. It was handed down to my wife by her Grandfather and I put it at least 60 years old. It was in terrible shape when I received it and was covered in rust. After some elbow grease I managed to ALMOST get it finished. I have reworked the stock as best I could and have managed a half decent job on cold bluing. I need to find a replacement screw that holds the bolt retainer in place, a new but plate and the guts that came out of the bolt assembly if I cannot fix them. These parts were just too far gone to be salvaged. The gun most likely will not be used for any hunting, but I would like to return it to working condition all the same. Does anyone have any info regarding the history of this gun? Or maybe a source to find parts? I have looked extensively on line and couldn’t drag up much info at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a pile.

I have never seen a gun called a .410 gauge as .410 is not a gauge at all but rather a bore Its odd to see it stamped on the gun like this….????

The bolt assembly. I need to replace the firing pin assy which slides inside.

Sorry for the odd shot but it was hard to get it all in the picture.
