Happy holidays to you all!

Could someone please tell me the difference between a Mossberg Model 42M(B)and a Mossberg Model 42M(C); the ones with the full mannlicher stock. I would sure appreciate it

Regards,

The Blue Book says: Models 42M a, b, c, - similar to the 42M with minor changes to extractors and sights.

The 42Mb was set up with the #4 receiver sight. My guess would be (and it's only a guess) that the c had the S100 sight. For a definitive answer, contact the Mossberg Collectors Association.

Thank you both.
