A rim fire cartridge has the primer built into the rim of the shell casing. The casing must have a wide flat part at the back. A center fire has the primer in the center of the rear of the casing. The rim fire is less expensive to manufacture but is more prone to jamming. The rim fire is not suitable for rapid fire applications or rough handling.

What is the date of manufacture of a 22 Mossburg rifle serial number S51M?
Couple of problems- Spelling is Mossberg. Prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act, Mossberg .22s did not have a serial number, except for a few made for the US Military. The serial numbers I HAVE seen did not include letters. Is it possible that you have the Model number- since there WAS a Model 51M? Mossberg is still in business, and may be contacted through their customer service website. At the bottom of this page is a link to an excellent blog on Mossberg .22s that may help give you a range of dates for a particular model. PS- I collect older Mossberg 22s- they are GREAT shooting rifles.
