Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mossberg 151M is a semi-automatic .22 rimfire rifle produced in the late 1940s and early 1950s, representing Mossberg’s continued refinement of its self-loading sporting rifles after World War II. Introduced around 1947 and manufactured into the early 1950s, the 151M featured Mossberg’s tubular magazine housed in the buttstock—a distinctive design that allowed for excellent balance and easy loading through the rear of the stock. It was equipped with a Monte Carlo-style stock, sling swivels, and Mossberg’s well-regarded S-100 series aperture sights, making it a higher-grade offering compared to the more utilitarian rimfire models of the era. These features made the 151M particularly appealing to small-game hunters and target shooters seeking a reliable, accurate, and slightly more refined .22 rifle.

These features made the 151M particularly appealing to small-game hunters and target shooters seeking a reliable, accurate, and slightly more refined .22 rifle.
In use, the 151M earned a reputation for dependable cycling and surprising accuracy, due in part to Mossberg’s consistent barrel quality and thoughtful sighting options. Its postwar production era coincided with a surge in recreational shooting, and the rifle fit perfectly into a market eager for modern, feature-rich .22s at a reasonable price. Today, the 151M is appreciated among collectors and Mossberg enthusiasts for its distinctive stock design, solid machining, and period-correct sighting equipment. Well-preserved examples reflect the company’s transition into more sophisticated sporting arms and remain attractive both as shooters and as representatives of Mossberg’s innovative postwar rimfire lineup.
