western field model m865 22 lever action

Question
I found a western field model 22 lever action which was reassembled wrong ie: screws were replaced backwards plus it ejects all the shells at once.
can i locate a manual online?

Answer
Hi Mark.

The Wester m865 was sold by Montgomery Ward but was actually made by Mossberg.  It is the same as the Mossberg model 402.  Here are some links to parts diagrams for the Mossberg lever actions:

I am not aware of an online guide for the Mossberg 402 but you can probably get one free from the factory.  Give them a call here:
