I have one of the top model with the tubular magazine and adjustable trigger. The scope is missing but it has peep sights and it can put 4 bullets in one hole at 50yards with the 5th shot just a hair away when I do my part. Production ended in 1941 when Mossberg switched to war production. Al_in_Ottawa
In Australia this time of year the ‘burbs ring with the melodious shriek of the world’s biggest parasite bird, the Channel Bill Cuckoo … wonder why there were none around in the 60s when every kid had an air rifle?
I have a Mossberg, tube feed, No. 46 (not model) Pat. Pend., with a proprietary adjustable reticle (4 peeps, just rotate the drum housing) Mossberg peep sight, Pat. Pend., from 1934-5 in very nice condition. It has a fat target stock with metal trigger guard. It shoots better than I can, not ammo sensitive.
I have a 142A carbine. The one with peep sight rear and folding fore end tip. Its pretty accurate, but not overly so - my CZ 452 will beat it handily. I still like it though - very handy to carry about.
