I picked this lil 22 up about 10 years ago....With all the 22's that Mossberg made..this is the only one I've ever owned....It was cheap and a little unusual..so I said I can always use a bolt action 22....It sat in my safe for years..never shot it....I started trying to get some info on it....It seems it was made in 49'....It also had a strange shaped bolt with a case hardended finish....The fore stock folds down and has the original sling and a peep sight....Anyway..thought I'd share....
