The Wards Western 94C Field is a single-shot 20 gauge made between 1953 and 1968, with no serial number. The 28-inch barrel is choked improved cylinder and chambered for 2 3/4-inch shells, and the bore is excellent. Metal finish is a blued barrel over a case-hardened receiver, with a wood stock and forend.

Wear is honest and uneven: the stock shows light marks, the forend moderate marks, and the trigger guard heavy marks, for a gun the seller rates good overall. In Connecticut a 20 gauge is one of the three gauges permitted for deer on private land with single projectiles during the November 18 to December 8 season, and shotguns are the firearm allowed on state land for the no-lottery season on the same dates. An improved cylinder single shot is the simplest way into either, and a straightforward one for a new shooter to learn on.
