Re: Came a long way.
I googled an inflation rate calculator. $73.50 in 1961 came out to $572.93 in 2013.
I'd say they are doing a great job keeping the price in line currently.

OK the Revelation is up and running! Huge thanks to Tanker for the stock set (this forum is lucky to have such members) and Old Mossy for the Havlin tip on the firing pin.
Gun has single action bar as seen in picture #2, no spring in firing pin. Now to take out to range.

Re: Revelation 310A Western Auto 12ga
Thanks guys for the comments, I've got about $120 tied up in her with stock,barrel and firing pin.. I just couldn't let an old "free" gun go to waste. I just wish it hadn't taken me 10 years to get off my duff and fix it
Now to fix up a FN Browning Hi-Power :roll:

WOW thats a blast from the past. As I recall those guns used a captured safety detent, in other words it is better than what is out there today!

Hi Mossy, I'm going to do a safety write-up w/ pictures this weekend if I can squeeze it in.
The safety assembly (button, bushing, screw, block) all are the same, BUT, some of the old guns had a captured detent. In other words, the spring and ball didn't come flying out upon disassembly! This was achieved by swaging the area around the detent. Also these guns had the most positive On/Off safety click of any Mossberg.
Sorry for the thread Hi-jack. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Hello everyone!
Thought I would post some pictures of a Westernfield (store brand made by Mossberg) 12ga pump that was given to me by my father. He says he bought it in the 70's, and fired less than a dozen shells through it. It looks fantastic, except for the safety which had been damaged during a move. I ordered a replacement 500 safety, and now it works perfectly. Comes with the C-Lect choke on the long barrel. I bought a Mossberg 500 18.5" security barrel for it, and it fit perfectly. Kinda looks like an old cop shotgun. Since it was technically made by Mossberg, I am allowed on the forum right?
