The Model 15 roughly corresponds to the Mossberg Model 80 or 85, but the K suffix on Mossberg normally indicates C-LECT-CHOKE which was not offered until much later in the 185 series. Does anyone have a picture schematic of this model? N Mossberg nThe gun was built by Mossberg for Montgomery Wards. I am currently re-doing this gun and am missing a few parts. I have a Western Field 20 Gauge with a 3 round clip it is a Model 15K. NThe receiver CAN be blued, but it requires a special salt mixture that runs at lower heat - available from DuLite. Since the closing of that factory it remains to be seen where, if at all, production resumes.

NThe post-64 Winchester Model 94 rifles, including the store brand variants, were made by USRAC in New Haven CT. It turns funny colors-green, purple, etc. The steel of the receiver won't take a re-blue. Incidentally, it's a post-1964 weapon & was made in Japan. The receiver was slab-sided, with a tubular underbarrel magazine and a lever loop curved to fit the pistol grip wrist of the stock. Notes: The Model 400 was built from 1959-71, and was for the most a standard-pattern rimfire lever-action rifle. Very light use with signs that a scope was on it at one time. Used in great condition a Mossberg Mod 402 Palomino 22 S-L-LR lever action tube fed youth rifle. The same manual that would apply to a Winchester '94 will work for a Sears 100.
