Re: Need help restoring an old gun
Polock, they're basically the same thing aside from the reciever shape and location of the safety. In the pic of the two pumps I posted on page one the top one is a Stevens 520.

Re: Need help restoring an old gun
Archie--Thanx for the info. One of these days I will find a way to get mine working. Really like the old ones, esp anything that says "Brownings Patent"!!
Even my old Westernfield has nice walnut/checkering/blue for what was a 'cheap' gun when it was made.

Re: Need help restoring an old gun
Hiya S&W
Sorry for the long delay, been on vacation. The ISBN # is 0-89145-434-9 And also says "Collector Books" A division of Schroeder Publishing Co., Inc. Hope this helps. Hiya Polock. Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Dont know bout the Westernfield stamp? I will have to look into that. Glad you got your's fixed!

Re: Need help restoring an old gun
blackwolf67--I believe 'Westernfield' was the house name for guns sold by Montgomery Ward (or monkey ward, to us old guys). Western Auto also sold guns under their trade name, but I forgot what is was--all similar to 'JC Higgins' as the Sears brand name for their guns/shooting/hunting equipment.
While I haven't gotten my gun working yet, I have high hopes for a guy I met who actually knows how/is willing to work on my old gun (owes me a favor)!! Good Shooting!! Polock

Re: Need help restoring an old gun
Hi Black Wolf67! Hey, thanks for that ISBN. Now I'll have to go look it up sometime. Maybe this summer while I'm not in school.
Hi Polock! When you say your gun has the same problem, are you referring to the same problem as my gun is having? Jamming and not retracting the spent shell from the chamber? Yeah, if you do find out about where to find that spring, definitely let me know. Thanks! Thanks to all of you who posted on this thread so far!
