Anyone else into collecting the classic old Mossberg .22 rifles?



1) Model 34 Singleshot
2) Model 152 semiauto carbine
3) Model 42M bolt-action
4) Model 146b bolt-action
5) Model 640KD .22Magnum bolt-action

Not shown are the Model 320bb Singleshot Boy Scout trainer and Model 40 bolt-action.

The M146b was bought for $40 as a rusted ruined basketcase. I thought to use the stock for a project. But..... I ran a patch through the bore and it came up clean and bright! She cleaned up very nicely indeed, and now is my favorite 'squirrel rifle'! The guy I bought it from said his Grandad (newly deceased) had stashed it under his trailer!

The M42 is wearing a Marble-Goss target rear aperture sight. It now wears a ringed front sight originally designed for a Ruger 10-22 - gives the effect of a globe front sight.

yup - just happened on it that day cause we were road trippin to a couple gunshops in the middle of the winter and heard there was a sale - so we diverted our trail that-a-way ,

this was in the rack with a "broken-as is" sign attached - only one other bidder and he wanted parts [probably the stock] so he stopped early , just over a hundred and it was simply put together wrong - it works just fine ,

they are a nice pair arent they ?
[OK , im gettin old , but i till recognize a nice pair when i see em]

beautiful rifles .the mossberg rifles are excellent shooters.

A-square beat me to that little Mossberg from Bruce. I was eye balling it up myself.
My dad just bought one at a gun show last week.. He's wanted one for years cause it was one of the first guns that he owned when he was young

okc
You need to come to the show in Lima. Aguy has a wholr table full of Mossbergs. The first weekend of the month.
