MW Hercules 1929 12 gage
Question
I want to restore my Grandfathers Montgomery Ward Hercules 12 gage single barrel. There are parts missing, e.g. he tock off the trigger gard so he could shoot with mittens. Also the plastic but plate is gone. Made from 1909 to 1956 (I think) will Iver Johnson champian parts be the same? Would all years parts fit? Who to write to for parts and/or how to advertise. I will buy another old gun as well if I can find one.
Answer
Leonard,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I was out of town and didn't have access to email for a couple of days.
Your Hercules is the same as the Iver Johnson Champion and the parts should be completely interchangeable.
Here is a link to a website that has a lot of old gun parts...this should really help you out. It will take you straight to the
champion page.

In case there is a problem with the link, just google "gunpartscorp" and it should come right up.
Good luck!
