Not So Pro 3

[Gullet]

Actually it is stamped Western Field. Montgomery Wards sold it, not Western Auto.

Relabled Mossberg (hardware store brand).

 

[Gullet]

It's a light gun. Yeah....kicks a bit. I like it.

One action bar or two (from the pump forearm to receiver)?

Have to be careful with the one action bar Mossbergs, they are prone to breakage.

One. It's not a Mossberg. Made by Noble Manufacturing Co.

10-4.
Savage made a bunch o shotguns for them also, as did Mossberg.
Prolly best to pump it gently with just one action bar.

I miss western auto.

My folks shopped at Sears cause that’s who had credit cards for folks with not a whole lot of money

I’m trying to remember their store brand of guns

JC Higgins?, or was that another department store brand

Almost every bit of sporting goods I had until I could buy my own cane from Sears

Western auto had card credit. Your name on a 3x5 index card with the amount you owed. Make a payment and they marked it on your card. When you payed it off, they gave you the card. Lol

JC Higgins made guns for sears and roebuck. Used to look through the wishbook catalog when we were kids. Pre internet!

The Christmas wish book was the highlight of my year

I knew I could ask for one toy and it was an unspoken rule that it was under $10

New England firearms made some for them as well if I member right.

Mossberg, Remington, Winchester, Stephens, Ithaca, Savage, Marlin, Iver Johnson, Harrington-Richardson, and many others made guns for the big retailers back in the day.
There were a few guns from Remington that were sold exclusively through retailers, like the .22 semiauto that was a cousin to the 66 that you could only get at Kmart, or the 66 "green" pattern stock that was only available through Monkey Wards.
They had lower price point guns that were made by a multitude of others as well. Everyone wanted to get that contract with Sears, Kmart, Montgomery Ward etc.
Not too hard to google the name brand and serial number.
Lots of good sites like this one that deal with "orphaned" or obscure firearms.
Kid has a Sears-branded 12 gauge pump that is at least an "exact" clone of a Mossberg that his grandfather left him.
He was pissed because he didnt get the .410 that my nephew got.
I told him that one was special in its own way, and he should hold on to it.

I didn't get pictures before I ate them but they were dry rubbed and smoked and I reheated them in foil on the grill with some barbecue sauce on them. Came out pretty good.

Lol gfy you could take anything out of context and spin it into some sorta gheyness.

No gheyness.
But never take dry rubbed ribs and then slather in sauce. What the fugg is wrong with you boy. LOL

Gotta to put something on them to reheat on the grill or they get too dry. Unless you like pork jerky.

Rangehood updates.
Got the remote motor out. No spinny, just hummy on 240v. Would spinny if you helped....
Sparkylectronics mate reckoned it was worth further investigation.
New "Run Capacitator" in that whitish box and she's sucking like, well you know who...
Gotta like $100 repairs over $850 replacements.
Don't gotta like putting it back in. Thats it way to the back, left of screen.
