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.
