Very nice collection. My favorite .22 are Mossberg rifles. I own a 146b. Sturdy, heavy build with a man sized bolt handle. Better than most .22's made today.

These rifles are highly underated and undervalued. The key is to buy as many of them as you can while you can. You cannot go wrong. We as americans have a bias tendency to place anthing foreign made above america made. While not realizing that america once made the best.

I have bought 7 Mossbergs over the last 2 years. Thru Gunbroker. com or at gun shows. But I have noticed recently the guns up for sale is limited or the cost is higher then I'm willing to pay. Good luck. The great thing about Mossbergs are the large variety of models that they produce over the years. Some being very limited in numbers produced with very short production runs

I inherited my fathers 151Mb. From what I can infer is it was manufactured in 1948. Rifle has alway been what I consider a tack driver. I’ve taken them into a gun shop and they had no clue what or when it was.

@SLOROB55 3 жыл бұрын

My father gave me a pre serial number bolt action for Christmas in 1963 when I turned 8. Braced, or on a bench I could shoot inside a dime at thirty yards all day long. Squirrels didn’t have a chance. I once shot a crow at about 60 yards on a dollar bet. The guy welched on the bet, but he and I both know it happened. I’ve shot many different rifles, this is the sweetest. It’s still in my locker with a 1” tube 4x 1970 weaver on it. The peep sight got lost when I went to college. Wish I still had it. You can flip up different front sights including two aperture that will let you center the target when it is blocked out by the post. No fooling this rifle deserves these sites. It’s over 90 years old. Still working. Shooting Federal white box that’s 50 years old. Ask the rats that eat my sunflower seeds. Warning, if you get one it will ruin you for a rifle that will not hit where it’s pointed.

I have a Rifle No2- That is an early SMLE, originally a troop trials rifle , that was built 1903 as .303, then changed to .22 rimfire in about 1907 for training. Uses the old Long Lee bolt. The SMLE was Rifle No1- The .22 rifle was No2 and in 1917 when the Enfeild P14 came in, that was Rifle no3. I have a Winchester build one . Rifle Nomaclutere in Britiain changed about 1921.

Great video and presentation. Was the unique barrel band only with the Mannlicher style rifles? I an not seeing that on non- Mannlicher stocked rifles.

@capthal-rs9mq 4 жыл бұрын

One of the reason mossberg used the barrel band was to save money. By using the steel band on the stock the need for larger pieces of lumber to make the stock was reduced. And the forearm was often a different piece of wood from the main stock. They made no effort to match pieces of wood. Mossberg was always trying to save money. Their reputation was a less expensive gun, but in truth they were well made guns.

@capthal-rs9mq 3 жыл бұрын

The models 152 and 152k had plastic forearms, but only after 1954. Before that date they had wood forearm. I believe the model 352 made in the 1960s also had the plastic forearm. These models were fashioned after the M1 carbine from WW II.

Thanks for this video. I have my dad's very early 42 mb with no serial number or any other government/lend lease stamp. Maybe first year of issue. My question is what wood was used for the stock on the early guns. I believe that mine is walnut. Later stocks look much lighter with a completely different grain. Again, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

@capthal-rs9mq 5 жыл бұрын

I have copies of the Mossberg sales brochures from 1940 and 1942 . At that time the 42m had genuine American walnut stocks. After the war the 42m had what called walnut finished stocks most likely made of birch or some other less expensive wood. So if you have a early model 42m it would be walnut. The 42m made for the government had birch wood stock I believe.

Thanks for all the information sir, you have a beautiful collection! I recently picked up a 151 mb from a pawn shop, it also was missing the rear peep and front hood. I purchased a scope but I'm wondering if ring mounts are going to fit. I was looking at the ones you have, did you have to purchase special ring mounts to get to sit correctly? Any help would be appreciated..

@capthal-rs9mq 5 жыл бұрын

I believe that the rings must be 3/4 inch rail. I got the ring set up on my gun from Havlin sales.com . They carry a lot of parts for Mossberg. They have a lot of knowledge about Mossberg and are good people to deal with. Try them.

I have a mossberg 340k It has 3/8 dovetail rails. you will need an adapter to fit the standard 7/8 rails.Try the pitinary rail systems.The DTW 145 worked well for me. Then you can use any rings that fit the scope.

I have a Mossberg 46M It’s the same one that belong to your father it’s a bolt action. This thing is in kind of rough shape it needs a good maintenance session done to it the trigger isn’t the greatest and I was curious if this was something you’ve experienced as well?

@capthal-rs9mq 3 жыл бұрын

On the bolt action gun from mossberg there is an adjustment screw that increases or decreases the pressure on the trigger. See if this will help. Often you will find that some of these old guns will have a hard trigger pull and you will just have to live with it.

I have a 42m that has been in storage for many years . I have a question about the clip .Does it hold longs and shorts .with longs does it have a place to store the pin ??

@capthal-rs9mq 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. These clip hold all 3 types of shells. This was a design that mossberg came up with. When you use long or lr you just have put it the pin in your pocket. No place on the gun. You are lucky to still have the pin. I think most get lost. Most people shoot lr today. Longs and short are harder to find.

Do you have a video demonstrating the disassembly of the bolt?

@capthal-rs9mq 3 жыл бұрын

No. But I can tell you that back part of the bolt screws off. That is the part behind the cocken handle. Once removed , the handle come off. The spring that operates the firing pin comes out followed by the firing pin its self. It's pretty simple set up. I believe all of the bolts are about the same. Sometimes the back part can be tuff to remove the first time if it has not been off for a while. You may need the use some tools like a vice and vice grips. Make sure to use pieces of cloth to protect the bolt from damage. Once you get the bolt apart for the first time lube the bolt and you will have no further problems. Good luck.

The Mossbergs were imported to Britian from 1940, I have one in England that was shipped over in February 1941. As the US was neuteral at the time and the rifles , which cost $10, were marked Property of the United States as they had been Lent or Leased to to England, not sold to a Beligerent. Mine spent all it's life In Service. When the gun came my way about year 2000, it had not been Proof Marked. This is a big deal as no unproofed gun can be sold or exchanged legally. A quick trip up to Birmingham Proof house, where it passsed the test and is now marked. Shoots nicley.

@capthal-rs9mq 3 жыл бұрын

Sounds like you have an early made rifle. I'm surprised that it didn't have the proof marks. I guess they need the rifle to quickly for training to wait to have it checked out. Thanks for sharing.

So never came of military use and therefore no one would have bothered about proof marks. Now has a nice discretly placed set of Birmingham Proofs. The Proof Master deliberatly put them as low as he could so the rest of the gun wasn't spolit. I shot it regularly,

Just to let you know. From the information I have, from a book by Victor Havlin "Mossberg More Gun For the Money" . Your gun was produced early 1943. Probably January. It was in the 4th contract for 5000 guns dated January 1, 1943. This contract covered serial number 38001 to 43000. Just for your information. Unit cost was $13.49 USD. Keep shooting.

@capthal-rs9mq 3 жыл бұрын

Here is another little bit of information. The orginal cost was $10.00. United states paid $9.35 and British paid 65 cents. And I believe we were to get the guns back after the war. But they probably cost more to ship back then it was worth. Although many were sent back and sold to the civilian market as surplus. And the ones left in England were used for cadet training like the one you have.

Thanks for watching my video. I'm not into doing video on disassembly of the different guns I have. I don't feel qualified in that area. Most of the mossberg look to me to be fairly simple in design. There are some videos by other persons that do show disassembly of different models and many mossberg have similar design that may help. I would not disassembly any gun if not needed. Most mossberg can be cleaned without complete disassembly. Also if you were to misplace or brake a part you may find it hard to replace. Good luck. Capt Hal
