Great story brother! I’m the proud third generation owner of a Mossberg Model 640 T .22WMR. My Pop-pop got it brand new and when he passed it went to my dad and thankfully I still got my pops but he’s pretty much designated it mine. I now have a young daughter who’s ten and will be learning on that gun very soon. It’s a real feeling of true pride with hand me down firearms. In fact all of my long guns have been handed down, rifles and smooth bores. I did buy myself one twelve gauge that was chambered in 3-1/2 inch to use for goose hunting. Let me tell ya gimmick!! Used it one season and by the next I was back to my old Ithaca mod.38 shooting high brass 2-3/4 shells. If you are a good shot that’s plenty of power and shot to cleanly bring down honkers. Hahaha anyway got a little side track. Thank you for sharing your similar story of your Mossberg .22wmr. It’s nice to hear of kindred spirits out there in the world. Cheers from the hollar in Pennsylvania!

I just saw your video and just got mine got it out of storage about 2 weeks ago. I brought it when I was in my 20's. It was my first gun. I am now 73 and my son got me back into shooting. I did have a Mossberg 20 ga pump that I really enjoyed and sold it. I would love to go another. Thank you for reminding of it value to me and someday I hope to show my granddaughter how to shoot.

My old man had one in the early 60’s. It was a legend in our family. He shot hundred’s of fox, crows and jack rabbits with it. I wish he had kept it.

This along with the Marlin 783 are my two favorite survival guns.With proper shot placement and good optics it is a one shot kill rifle for small game and deer, You can easily carry 100 rounds of ammo without being bulky. Enjoy !!!

My 640k was my first rifle. My dad bought it from a friend of his who ran a pawn shop when I was 12. I do wish it had better iron sights…

I got mine off my brother. My dad bought it for him for his 16 birthday back in 1971. Both he and my dad shot ground hogs with it. Crazy accurate rifle. I want to put a new scope on it now.

I received this model gun from inherenting from my grandfather. Great gun

She needs the 274 bkl cavalier mounts, will make the eye relief alot better.. did it with mine, big improvement

Wonderful rifle to have,,had mine since I was 9 first gun I shot very good memories

I just bought one that I am waiting to arrive. No sentimental stories behind it, but it probably came from somebodys grandpa.

I inherited one of these from my dad and it shoots the best with the regular Winchester hollow points

i have my late grandfathers. i can hit anything at 100 yards perfectly. i cant wait to shoot further out my most fun gun i have yet.

I have the same exact gun and it’s a tack driver.. with a scope you can easily hit at 200 yards

Very cool Liam. :)

I have the same rifle. It was gifted to me by my father. Great rifle. I have a question for you. Where is the serial number on these? I can’t find it

Nice rifle!

Father gave me one of these when I turned 18. Too bad it can't hit nothing at 20 yards. I don't know if its the 30 grain v-max's or the barrel is shot out. I recrowned the barrel and thought about glass bedding it but tbh its not worth the money. It will always have a place in my heart due to it being my father's gun.

Golf and Guns matchup soon??

I have the same rifle. Sure it's not a 26 inch barrel?

mine was stolen by a guy who sold it for drugs
