My Dad has the M175a and it's exactly the same except it's a 20ga. He bought his about 1965/66 and I think the production run was between 1960 and mid 1980's.
That's why I love Kentucky :D, and correct...there isn't a magazine capacity limit other than for hunting. I wasn't aware of a 3 shell limit for birding but then again I'm kinda glad...I'm not a big fan of scatterguns because pounding off that much lead in one shot is not so good for the environment, especially small freshwater ponds. Bismuth makes for a hell of a load though and it's even heavier than lead so I'd love to see it become commonplace.
i sold one the othere day for 100 didn't feel like trying to look for buyers. My didn't have the choke but it was a long barrel. The safety doesn't work on pretty much any of them. Its a very good and reliable shotgun. Fun to just go out shoot or just to shoot small things.
@IcabodCrane. Only hunting anything other than migratory water foul. Migratory water foul (ducks and geese) there is a 3 shell limit. For deer there is a 10 round limit plus one in the chamber. For varmint and small game I don't think there is a limit. Hopefully not because I have killed many squirrels with a marlin model 60 .22 It held 14+1. Kentucky does not have those stupid "hi cap" magazine laws for 10 round mags like some states. Only for hunting is there a mag capacity limit.
I don't know about the legislation where you live...but in Kentucky there's a 10 round limit, so to say "in the United States" is erroneous since most states have variant legislation.
i would take the safety off if you can sounds like a accident waiting to happen , would not have it in my house . interesting though i bet if it was more popular a semi auto\auto shotgun with a magazine would have been invented about 100 years earlier
Yeah I got the Westernfield M160-A 20 gauge also. It's in really good condition.
