This is my '67 Westpoint 33.

A saddle ring on a pistol grip seems strange.

 

This is just like the one I am looking for except mine has little notches cut in the stock keeping a tally on deer killed.

 

On Jan 6, 2012 I walked into a local pawn shop and saw what I thought was a Marlin sitting on the rack. When I looked closer I realized it was something I'd never seen before. It was marked Western Field M72. I looked in the cross reference chart in the back of my Blue Book ( I kept it in my truck back then since I didn't have a smart phone) and it said it was a Mossberg 472 but there was no listing for a Mossberg 472 in the Blue Book. After I got it home I Googled it and found that Mossberg made the 472 from '72-'79. Never have found any info on how many were made.

Looks very similar to a 336 except for the safety on the left side. The internals are completely different. The trigger stays with the lever.

None of the ones I've seen online have a Western Field grip cap.

I usually pull the see-thru mounts and scope off but decided this one needed to stay.

 

Had a friend that had a Revelation 200, not sure who it was made for.
I have a Sears model in 35 Rem. and a Westerfield in 30-30.
Most of the store brands were 30-30's, with probably a third less made in 35 Rem.
Here's my pair Westerfield on the left and the JC Higgins on the right.

This Sears 45 is another pawn shop find.

I left the scope on this one since it matched.

 

My 1970 model Revelation made by Marlin for Western Auto Supply.
Love the action on it, slick as butter!

I used to have quite a few of the store brand Marlins. Funny how a few of the store brands didn't have the hard wood stocks and had the fore arm cap instead of the accuracy robbing bands. I am a pistol grip guy and capped fore ends. I wish I had all the ones back I had collected over the years. I had a mint Westpoint 33 in with them.

My Sears Model 45 does not have Ted WIlliams name on it. I have never seen one on MO with his name on the barrel. I think his name was on the Winchester Sears offerings.

 

Here's mine.

Thanks for posting pictures of other Marlins with other brand names on them. I see that some rifles have see through rings. I use see through rings with good accuracy. My M. 308Ex.-XLR is equipped with Millett thru rings and scoped with a Weaver 2 x 10 x 38mm made in Japan scope. I can shoot with a straight aim at 50, 100, 150 yards with my reloads are in 2" bullseye. I just had to share this because I have been on M.O.F. since 2009 and I remember members were down on see thru rings. I admit see thru rings look odd but functional.

I buy all mine at pawn shops and a lot of them I've picked up had see-thru rings on them. The first thing I usually do is pull the scope and rings off. I don't have problem with the see-thru rings but it's a lot easier to store them in the safe without the scopes.

 

I believe the Westernfield Model 472/72 was made by Mossberg. I have heard they are very well made rifles........

 

Mossberg 472! Yes! I just sold my 472 to my younger brother! It said Mossberg and that's it! The action was just as slick as a Marlin, the whole trigger assembly came out. While it's not my gun anymore it's still in the family.

I jave a westpoint model 33 that belonged to my grandmother. It was purchased at McLaughlins hardware store in Quincy Ill in 1975. I got it in 1980 when she passed. I jave taken many deer with it andtoday im re-blueing it and changing the stock to a weathered grey. Hope it turns out. I also have a Glenfield 30A that belonged to my grandfather pretty much in mint condition

 

I believe the "Revelation" brand was made for Western Auto. I have a Revelation 100A single shot .22 bolt action. Seems to shoot decent.

 

I agree, nice rifle.

 

I was wondering if the Sears's Marlin carries the Ted William name. thanks for sharing. One question. where is the Ted William stamp place on the rifle? I see machined threads.

 

Saddle ring could be an after market.

 

Yes I have heard Mossberg made a copy Marlin 336 too. I believe I saw a youtube video oh yes heres one. Mossberg model 472 repair - Bing video

 

Other than cosmetic similarities, the 472 is a completely different design than the 336.

 

nice model 45

 

To be honest I don't know why Mossberg did not continue making their Model 742 lever rife. Perhaps Marlin 336 were more desirable.

 

Needing help! I had a Westpoint 30-30 stolen. Just want to find buy back. My dad cut notches in stock when he would kill a deer. Also did have a slip on rubber butt pad for my use as a kid so butt stock may be discolored. Had the saddle ring. Had serial number wrote down but he cant find it. Thanks for ur help. Jerry

Please share this to an appropriate thread.

 

Nope I got one just like it with a saddle ring.

 

If anyone comes across one with this description please let me know. I just want to buy it back. Thanks Jerry

 

The westpoint model 33 or the 94 Winchester 30-30?

 

The one I had stolen is a Westpoint .30-30. Has notches on the stock made with a knife as my dad was keeping a tally of deer he killed with it. Also had the brass saddle ring. When stolen it had a slip on butt pad which prob was removed, but the butt stock may be a diff color where the butt pad was but not sure. My dad has the serial number somewhere but hasnt found it yet. Thanks Jerry

 

Mine has many deer under it in it's 60 years. I've got about 10 or more with it.

 

Nice I use this gun as I was growing up I would really like to find it
