Rob- the semis started at Model 152 with the fold-down forearm, bolt action is a 142.  Yeah, I've got a few Mossbergs around here.
Ricci nice looking rifle.  Have a 144 LSB that will give a $2K bench rest gun a run for the money.  Mossberg made some really good rifles back then.

I will post a pic of mine. It now has a cheap bushnell 4x on it. I still have the the original irons and scope and rings . Sadly the original scope is very cloudy. I own many 22lr rifles but this is one I will never part with.

@chme I'll second that about the 144LSB

Ricci- stuck a link to your auction on the Mossberg board over at Rimfire Central.  That one should go to someone that really appreciates Mossies.

I wish I was in a position to bid. I would be a player on that. Beautiful older rifle & scope combo.

I have a Marlin mdl 81DL (from the 40's) from my Dad's collection. Somewhat similar, but with high end front and rear peep sight set up.

That should do very well I would think. (Excellent pictures by the way.)

Nice rifle Ricci!

I didn't know they made them without iron sights only the scope for sighting.

Ricci.Wright

I think it came with irons but they are long gone.

Interesting light.... 70 years.. My grandfather's Remington 241 SA 22 he got upon returning from WWII

You can still buy those little red and green buttons! I just redid a Mossberg 16 gauge bolt action and purchased replacements.

havlinsales dot com has the red/green pegs.  And a LOT of other things for older 22 rifles.  Victor and Cheryl Havlin run the Mossberg Collector Association- and are real nice folks to deal with.

My Grandpa gave me a 241when I was a kid and I have not shot it in years. I need to change that.

I really need a mossberg rimfire in the safe. That's a fine example and should do well.
But, when my budget allows, I have to go with Remingtons from that era. Don't get me wrong, my savage model 4s have plastic trigger guards, and I still love them, but the only thing on my 40s Remmies that even resembles plastic, is the butt plate.
