Picked up one of these off the classifieds here. Really interesting design, John Browning was a genius. If you ever get a chance to closely inspect one check it out

The workmanship on the 520 & 620 Stevens shotguns was amazing and the takedown design IMO is brilliant.

Posted this a few weeks ago on the "Campfire Forum" ---- Dad's shotgun looks just like the one in the first video . . . I have my Dad's WF model 30 16 ga he bought in 1947. Just finished repairing the butt stock. I used this gun all through HS and college but it hasn't been shot in about 40 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUCjRWgJGeE -----
Found this later as well, showing the take down procedure . . .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjDKiAp_KrI
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I have a 16 ga mod 30. Westernfield. I think only thing different is the safety which is inside the trigger guard ahead of the trigger. Bill

My 16 ga westernfield must be a earlier than what your showing. The safety on mine is directly in front of the trigger inside of the trigger.

The early Brownings also used the safe inside the TG.

It starts when you're always afraid
