I’m trying to locate my grandfathers long Tom (Montgomery Ward), 36” barrel, which was sold at “Shooters Supply” back in 1996. It has a long scar on the single shot barrel (break open) as my grandfather dropped it while plowing and ran over it. I am willing to pay a generous “finders fee” for its return. I’d really like to keep it in my family. Please call or text 208.315.2669 if you have any leads or info. Gratefully, Matt

I hope you find the owner. Those are cool guns. Bolt action with a detachable mag, right?

My bro has one from back in the day, early 90's or late 80's even.   12ga bolt with detachable mag and that loooooong barrel. 

I hope he's keeping it rust free, I think it'll be a collectors item. 


I always told him he needed that long barrel to swat the geese out of the air cause he certainly couldn't shoot them  :chuckle:

Can you give us an idea where it was lost at? I see you're in Yakima, so I doubt it's here on the west side but you never know.

Yes, it was sold at "Shooter's Supply" in Yakima in the mid 90's.  Thank you!!!  Matt

My cousin worked at Shooters Supply for quite a few years not sure if in 1996 tho. I can send him a message if you would like.
