Mossberg M44 US, serial 152xxx, with 36X target scope and custom mount




This is a military trainer,.22lr with 7-shot magazine and Mossberg S-100 rear sight. I bought it from the original owner who got it from CMP. It's gloss blued and in very good condition. The bore is perfect. It is very accurate shooting with just the peep sight, but I made a custom scope mount for the 36X target scope to see what it could really do. It will shoot groups less than 1/2" center-to-center at 50yds off my competition rests with three different loads.

The scope is a Japanese-made BSA Platinum 5-Star 36x44AO target scope, made before BSA moved production to China and quality dropped. I used it on my benchrest rimfires and it worked great. The optics aren't as clear and bright as a Weaver T36 or Sightron 36X, but it tracks and holds zero very well. The mount is made from Weaver long side mount rings and a #1 mount, and allows a scope to be mounted without drilling any extra holes in the receiver, preserving the original condition of the gun.

Here are some high resolution pictures. They are big, so modem users be patient.

Upcoming house purchase means I have to clean out the ones I don't actually need, and this is one of them. I'll take $200 for just the gun, $225 for the gun and scope mount, or $275 for the gun, mount, and scope. Shipping charges to your FFL extra if you can't come and pick it up in the Seattle/Everett area. Email me at jasonm@speakeasy.org and I'll get back to you ASAP.
