Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Western Field EMN 175 is a store-branded version of the Marlin Model 50 series of bolt-action shotguns, produced for Montgomery Ward’s Western Field line in the mid-20th century. Like many department-store firearms of the era, the EMN 175 was mechanically identical to its parent Marlin model but carried unique Western Field branding and generally simpler trim to keep pricing competitive, making it an affordable option for hunters and shooters alike. These shotguns featured a straightforward bolt-action design with a detachable box magazine and a fixed full choke, although many shooters added adjustable chokes to increase versatility in the field. Chambered in 12 gauge with a two-round magazine, the EMN 175 was lightweight, easy to handle, and well-suited for small game, upland birds, and general-purpose hunting. Its combination of practicality, durability, and accessibility made it a popular choice for post-war sportsmen seeking a dependable shotgun without the higher cost of name-brand Marlin models.
