Anyone know anything more about this gun. It's a twelve gauge bolt action with a clip for the shells. Picked it up at a garage sale.
I did a little bit of research and so far the only thing I found out about it was it was manufactured by Marlin for Western Field.

You have a Marlinmodel 55 made for WesternField, Western Auto, Sears, and several other hardware stores back in the 50's and 60's. Good old shotguns that kick like a borrowed mule. They also made them in a "Goose Gun" version with a 36 inch barrel. They make a pretty good turkey guns as well if you like the long barrel?
