Description:
World War II U.S. Military MOSSBERG Model 44US .22 Cal. TRAINING Rifle C&R
U.S. TRAINER Made in NEW HAVEN, CONN.
Here we present a C&R O.F. Mossberg & Sons Model 44US Training Rifle, chambered in .22 Long Rifle Rimfire, made circa 1944 in New Haven, Connecticut. The 44US target trainer was designed exclusively for the United States War Department and intended solely for the use of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Initially, the No. 4 receiver peep sight was rejected by the Ordnance Department and the first contract of 14,500 rifles were made in early 1943 with the Lyman 57MS (Mossberg/Stevens) receiver sight and the plain S-122 front sight with a globe. Harold Mossberg designed the new S-100 receiver sight which replaced the Lyman for the remainder of the production run (57,128 rifles) which continued until production ended in March of 1945. Rarely today will you see an example with the front sight cover as the locking tabs were prone to fail after repeated removal and installation.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright bore. The stock is in fine shape with less than average wear. Sharp markings. “US PROPERTY” marked barrel. Mossberg rear peep sight.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 26 inches.
Caliber: .22 Long Rifle Rimfire
Overall condition as seen in photos.
