What is the age of a O.E.Mossberg and Sons model 142-A 22-S-LR?

Answer 1

Hello Mossberg made many .22lr during early years. The 142a was a very interesting bolt action with a front grip and a 7 rounds magazine. It was made from 1950 to 1957. after that they did some semi-autos (152a) and some lever actions (palomino) Also Mossberg made many .22lr bolt action to the military for training during WWII. Value is not much, depends of the conditions from $50 to $180 but they are very good shooters and great for kids because the short barrel. Something that always worries people about this rifle it is the fact that they do not have serial number stamped, During the 50's it was not required by ATF to serialize rifles and Mossberg didn't do it to keep the price down. ___________________________________________________________
