Is was just given a 22lr from my grandpa that was my great grandpa's and I'd like to find out some info on it. The brand is a Wards Western Feild model 80. It's a pump action with a round barrel. My great grandfather was a sheep herder and this little gun was used to shoot coyotes with. I'll get some pics up as soon as I find were my 2 year old hid my camera.

Both Savage/Stevens and Marlin made rifles for Sears and Wards department stores. Some were Winchester Mod. 70 bolt guns and 94 lever-actions, too.

Since its a pump, I am betting its a Stevens, but it could be a Winchester Model 62.

Yes, photos would help.

I've got no mention of a pump .22 from Wards/Westernfield in my books

Over at Rimfirecentral.com there's a guy who collects Western Field guns. His handle on the forum is "duke21". Go over there and ask him. I'd bet he can help. Here's a link to one of his threads:
