Mossberg 346BA

Fluw

Recently a friend of mine offerd me his Mossberg 22 LR model 346BA.
It's to say at least, a very uncommon rifle here in Denmark, and I tried to track down some "user comments" on it, but has only been able to find out that it was manufatured in the 1960 - 68 period.
The gun has a tubular magazine, peep-sight, detachabel sling mounts, dovetail for scope mounting, and is in 100% pefect condition, having only fiered aprox 100 shots.
Anyone care to comment on this "Jack of all trades" gun?
Best regards
Bj?rn

Hi Bjorn.

Back when I was a teenager, we all lusted after the more expensive Winchesters and Remingtons, but all we could afford were Mossbergs. [:)]

However, over the years, "Mossies" have gained a lot of respect.

Yeah, they were less expensive, and a bit less finely finished than the Winchesters & Remingtons, but they were rugged, well made, very dependable, and accurate.

Current Blue Book value (in US $$$):

98% - $175
95% - $150
90% - $125
80% - $85

If you can get it at a decent price, you won't be disappointed.

I have always loved the pre WWII mossbergs nice crisp triggers, but if you can get any mossberg with a peep rear and a hooded front they are well worth every money you exchange for them.

Good reference site for Mossies. They are addictive (have about a dozen now, and bidding on 2 more) The WW II era Mossberg target rifles were- and still are- tack drivers, and will give a good Winchester a run for the money. There is a Mossberg Collectors Assoc, and havlinsales.com carries parts like firing pins, magazines, and trigger guards. Vic and Cheryl Havlin are friendly folks and extremely knowledgable. http://home.epix.net/~damguy/models.htm
