[QUOTE="Spitfire, post: 4012382, member: 50347"] My first gun was a Mossberg Model 251C .22 caliber I received as a birthday present from my folks when I was 12 or 13 circa1968-69. Must have shot a hundred bricks of .22 through that rifle. The firing pin finally broke so as a young child I hand wrote a letter to O.F. Mossberg & Sons explaining the need for a new firing pin and enclosed a 5.00 dollar money order. A few weeks later I received a reply back and enclosed was a new firing pin and a check for several dollars as a new one cost about 1.50 back then. Also enclosed was a note thanking me for choosing Mossberg. Sure made a young boy feel pretty important. Sure was different with no email or internet back then. I still have that rifle and it still shoots great. [/QUOTE]
