I have owned a 352 K since 1958 (It's now Feb. 2006) It is a deathly accurate Rifle that shoots 100s at the Range with monotonous regularity. It has however one bad habit, it breaks firing pins. I have put up with it's quirks for over 40 years but before I pass it on to My Nephews I would like to have it corrected. Does anybody know a good Gunsmith in the Toronto (Ont. Canada) area.

Wards Westernfield 04M-417 reconstructed youth model.  There have been a few questions on these youth models and if anyone could answer any of these questions it would be greatly appreciated!!

• How did Mossberg classify their youth models? (Same models but with some added code?)

• Did they offer youth models directly or was it only through private-label resellers like Wards/Sears/Spiegel etc.

• What was the price structure? (If a 42C sold for $8.45 in the late thirties, how much did a youth model cost?)

• Did they advertise youth models? Anyone have any print ads showing them?

• What percentage of total sales did youth models make up? Did Mossberg just assume kids would shoot air rifles until they were big enough to handle adult-sized models?

•
