Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Aug 16, 2011 7:03 am

A friend gave me these guns yesterday, a Mosberg 44-US (b) and a Western Field 12 pump that i turned into a deffence gun.
I need a magazine and sling swivels for the 22 if anyone has any parts for one .

If the bore hasn't rusted, they shoot very accurately.

Book marked them and will check them out, thanks.
Bore looks good and all the rust came off the outside with some steel wool and W-D

After clean up, shot it a couple times single shot and it shoots good, will have to shoot a paper target later.

Wouldn't of given you a plug nickel for the Mossberg looking at the first pictures, but your follow up pics look like it turned out not bad. Hopefully she's still a shooter. The shotgun, well, not my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat, Pitchy.

The flash makes it look worse, it looks pretty good in person.

Yepper, ordered a magazine from them.

Thanks.

here's a 46b [ same action , tube mag ] i cut down for my son
when he was little. great shooter. it started life about the size
of yours. when i had younger eyes i could light wooden matches
with it using the open sights it came with at about 50 ft.

Mine is very accurate with the Peep Sight. Was going to offer to sell U a mag but I c U already ordered one. Last one I priced here was $45. U beat that if shipping isn't too high.

Cool pokey

pwl44m, thanks anyway on the offer, shipping was four bucks so not bad then.
I gotta get out and shoot it more and see what it will do.

Shot it off a sand bag at 30 yards using CCI ammo left side is sighting it in, right is last bout. Not bad seeing the rear sight is blurry.

Hey that ain't bad for an old rusted up beater. Looks like minute of squirrel to me

Thanks Joe, i can`t even focus on the rear sight so that ain`t bad, might even hit that barn door.

I also have a 46B, I picked up in a pawn shop four years ago for $90.00. It is in very good shape and is a real tack driver. These are great man sized 22s.

Shoots good, to bad about those sights, it's well known fact that as sights age the metal breaks down making them appear fuzzy, we'll at least a well known fact to me.

Slight side-track: Does anyone know if these will take an S-100 Microclick rear peep?

Sorry buddy but i don`t have a clue what fits it, i did see that they made a peep for this rifle and a scope mount.

Charles · Post by **Charles** » Fri Aug 19, 2011 11:09 am

If that rifle has two drilled and tapped holes on the left side (rear) of the receiver, I have a factory click adjustable peep sight that will fit it. It swings to one side if you want to use the barrel sights or a scope.

I would sell it to the owner of that rifle for $30.00 shipped. I don't remember if I have the screws or not, but if I do, they go with it. If not they don't.

pwl44m · Post by **pwl44m** » Fri Aug 19, 2011 11:13 am

I have a peep on Mine,don't know what it is but I will check.

Pitchy,
I like that rifle, I'm gonna keep my eyes open for one to go with my 9422.

What is that sink like thing with the motor and drive wheel the rifle is sitting on?

Wow, now that's a smokin deal if I ever did see one.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Aug 19, 2011 12:23 pm

Charles hold that thought i have another possibilty in the works.

Joe that`s a small hand crank forge.

pwl44m · Post by **pwl44m** » Fri Aug 19, 2011 3:05 pm

@ awp, that is what Mine has on it. On the sight it says "Mossberg Microclick S-100 pat pend".If Ur d&t I would think it will work.
Couple pics of Mine.

Charles · Post by **Charles** » Fri Aug 19, 2011 10:11 pm

Yep..That is the sight I have. I needed one for my 46B and ended up with two.

Pitchy...I have had that sight for a couple of years and it is not going anywhere. But I have been known to change my mind, so don't fanny burp around too long.

I appreciate the offer and may take ya up on it later but awp101 is sending me one as a gift so i`m good.

Thanks for the thought though

A free sight beats a $30.00 sight any day!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 11:53 am

Looky what i got today, a peep sight from awp101, most awesome

Fits perfect, thanks buddy, i`ll get even somehow.

The line of people wanting to get even with me forms to the left of my wife and kids. Oh, that's not what you meant...

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 1:23 pm

Thanks again, question, are these made to use with a scope so ya can swing it out of the way?
Or are ya supposed to take the buck horn style sight off?
Or use it with the buck horn which don`t work well.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 6:04 pm

Guess it was so ya could swing it out of the way for a scope to be mounted, well duh

That would be my guess but I never asked...

I might ask the Mossberg gurus over at RFC and see what they have to say.

Post by **Ysabel Kid** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 7:47 pm

Very cool! The bolt on that .22 reminds me of the bolt on a 1917.

I love old .22's. I'm always looking for one when I walk into any candy store. Figure one can't have too many, and as i start to build up a stock of them my plan is to start giving them as gifts to scouts, relatives, etc.

According to the answer I got over at RFC it was so you could use the buckhorn instead of the receiver sight OR for the use of a scope.

Thanks for checking it out i really like the peep, thanks again.
I`m pretty attached to the little forge myself though i don`t use it much.
Thanks gents.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:25 am

Took the leaf sight off, this is with just the peep.
I`m pretty happy with that, center group was setting the sight, left group, 17 shots at 30 yards.

Pretty good for these old eyes off a sand bag.

Charles · Post by **Charles** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 2:19 pm

Very good..now it is time to think about bringing that stock back to a good military finish and get rid of most of those dings etc. No, I don't mean sand it to death..that is awful.
