Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mossberg 142K is a bolt-action .22 rimfire rifle from O.F. Mossberg & Sons’ well-regarded post–World War II rimfire lineup, a period when American manufacturers focused on affordable yet accurate sporting and training arms. Introduced in the late 1940s, the 142K was part of Mossberg’s Model 142 series, which emphasized improved accuracy, modern styling, and user-friendly features compared to many prewar designs. Like other Mossberg rimfires of the era, it reflected the company’s mission to provide dependable firearms for small-game hunting, target shooting, and youth instruction at a reasonable cost. The 142K benefited from Mossberg’s experience producing accurate .22 rifles during the wartime and immediate postwar years, when marksmanship training and recreational shooting were both expanding rapidly in the United States.

The 142K benefited from Mossberg’s experience producing accurate .22 rifles during the wartime and immediate postwar years, when marksmanship training and recreational shooting were both expanding rapidly in the United States.
Produced approximately from the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, the Mossberg 142K typically featured a bolt-action design chambered in .22 Long Rifle, a detachable box magazine, and a hardwood stock with clean, utilitarian lines. Many examples were equipped with adjustable target-style sights and a receiver grooved for scope mounting, highlighting Mossberg’s focus on practical accuracy and versatility. While not a rare rifle, the 142K is well regarded today by collectors and shooters who appreciate classic American rimfires, particularly those that balance solid workmanship with everyday usability. Its durability, straightforward design, and connection to Mossberg’s golden era of rimfire production make it a respected representative of mid-20th-century sporting rifles.
