    Mossberg 144US Questions

    Hoping you guys can help shed some light on a 144US I picked up at a gunshow recently. Rifle is parkerized and has serial US35120; however, the zero looks like it was hand stamped later but before rifle was parked. BARREL has DOUBLE circled P stamp. Rifle has twin holes to mount rear sight and a Mossberg S331 is installed, though my understanding was that a Redfield with one mount screw was used. Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Sheppsan

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Pictures help. You might have better luck over on the Mossberg section at Rimfire Central. 2 threaded holes are for the mounting block the rear sight attaches to. If the block is missing, good luck finding one. Havlin Sales sells a new rear sight that attaches directly without the block. Good stuff.

    The serial number should only be 4 digits after the US, so the 0 would have been added. The original sight was a Redfield, however I have seen them at CMPicon clubs with Mossberg sights installed, probably some time in its past service.

    I was told that there were duplicate Serial numbers and the 0 was added post manufacture. There are several reported on the 144us sticky at rimfire central, Mossberg thread.
