Forgive me C&R Fathers, for I have sinned...

I didn't know any better 15 years ago...Stripped the finish, rasped the stock & did a trigger job...I'm sorry!




I let a few young guys shoot it last night, had to show them how to operate a bolt-gun & aperture sights. Then I took 5 or 6 shots.

don't think I have to ask which group was yours. I've seen this gun before but forgive me I can't remember what it is. I also will not begrudge your re-buff work, it looks great and seems to shoot just fine. what's there not to like?

Mossberg!!!

Mossberg!!!

Yep, 1944 GI Trainer. Back when CMP was selling them, My Brother bought 3 for $95 each. He sold me one.

No need to ask for forgiveness, Bruce. If you're happy with the gun then there is no sin!

It's still a neat little gun and a piece of history.

Darn... the bolt looked like an Eddystone to me, lol

OP... Flame on! Haha. Shoot it and love it. I wish I had a group like that

Mossberg 44US if from CMP ... awesome little USGI .22 Cal Trainer rifle you shot before they gave you a M1 Garand. I have a couple and they are great little bolt action rifles ... very accurate. Yours has the upgraded 17A Lyman Globe front sight and the S-100 Micro Click rear sight... Nice ! 44US stocks are available if you wanted to rectore it to original look, they go for about 40 - 60 bucks. I just picked up a Mossberg 144US trainer rifle and I can't wait to take it to the range ... the barrel on it is like a small truck axle LOL.
