The Model 151k was produced 1950-51. The average value for the model in good condition is approximately $100-$150. It is one of my favorite guns to shoot. Very accurate.
Since these rifles were made prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act, they do not have serial numbers, so cannot be dated to a single year. However, the Mossberg 151K was only made for 2 years- 1950 and 1951. It will be one or the other.

I've just seen one listed for as low as $60.00 and another listed for $260.00. I guess it depends on the condition of the rifle. Maybe one in great condition can sell for more???
There were several Mossberg .22 rifles that load through the stock. The 51M, 151K, ect. These have a removable inner rod that is draw back through the buttplate, and cartridges are inserted into an angled hole in the side of the stock. Mossberg also made rifles that loaded from a box type magazine, and an under barrel tube magazine. There are more than 100 different Mossberg 22 rifles made.
No exact production numbers avaialble that I know of, but they would have not been extremely high- that rifle was only made for 2 yrs. (I have two of them- for a hunting grade of rifle they are VERY accurate)
