Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mossberg 340KA is a bolt-action .22 rimfire rifle produced during the 1950s and 1960s, representing one of Mossberg’s dependable, value-focused sporting rifles of the postwar era. Unlike some other Mossberg rimfires of the period, the 340KA uses a detachable box magazine rather than a tubular magazine, giving shooters quicker loading and the option to carry spare magazines. It was equipped with adjustable open sights, a blade front sight, a grooved receiver for tip-off scope mounts, and a utilitarian hardwood stock—features that made it a practical and accurate small-game and training rifle. Borrowing proven design cues from earlier Mossberg models while incorporating simplified bolt and sight systems, the 340KA offered reliability, ease of maintenance, and performance that appealed to both new shooters and seasoned rimfire enthusiasts.

Manufactured from the mid-1950s into the mid-1960s, the 340KA arrived during a booming era for recreational shooting and quickly became a trusted companion for farm work, plinking, and youth marksmanship programs. Its rugged construction, smooth operation, and modest price point helped cement Mossberg’s reputation for producing high-value rifles for everyday American shooters. While not considered rare today, well-preserved examples remain appreciated for their mid-century charm, solid workmanship, and practical accuracy—standing as a classic example of Mossberg’s contribution to affordable rimfire sporting arms.
