Mossberg M44 US

[PWC]

I have a Mossberg M44US that is drilled and tapped for a side mount telescope. No mount, no screws and I’ve just begun to search.

That said, I know originally the M’berg mount was for a ?” or 1” scope. I’ve seen pictures of the mount but I don’t understand how the scope was mated to it. I have 3 questions:

1. Does anyone have pictures that are worth a thousand words on how the mount and scope go together?

2. Does anyone have a copy of the instructions?

3. Does anyone have an alternative that uses the original drilled and tapped holes?

Thanks in advance for any help

depends on the holes,

Mossberg did a side mount, bit bulky, but worked, but not sure if it was around when the 44 was done,
may have been discontinued by then

or it may be d&t'ed for a Weaver side mount,


gimme a minute and I will see what I can find pic wise



not what I was thinking, but an option

here is a weaver option,
the 4 holes go in the receiver

the mount sits at about 45 degrees, and there is a scope ring/base that attaches (1 inch)
they also made an OEG version, I have one on my old 550-1

I looked on Havlins site first and saw there $32 mount and that's what got me started. I don't think it's overbore but offset. I'd really prefer overbore.
