So while out and about at some rummage sales this weekend, I came across this....
I know what you are thinking, bubba sawed off a .22 and put on a mossberg pistol grip. I thought so too, and the barrel and OAL looked pretty short and I don't want any NFA problems, so I left it. While driving away, and using my hands for measuring, I realized I might be making a mistake, so I returned and bought it for 80.00 with no magazine and a loose scope.
While researching the rifle, I found this.
It was stamped US Arms Div AEG Inc. and PMA-1P. Apparently, mossberg got a rebellious side at one point and made a so-called "Assault" .22lr. The barrel is exactly 16 inches and the OAL is exactly 26 inches (good thing the FSA OAL does not apply to rimfire). US Arms / Mossberg put on the 500 PG from the factory believe it or not, and while it was supposedly sold between 79 to 84, I've never seen one.
Has anyone seen these things before? Are they rare? Any Idea of the value?
I've sourced out some 10 round mags, and I want to make it into an underfolder, but I don't want to destroy anything that has significant collector value.
