Introducing the classic Mossberg Model 640KA, also known as the 'Chuckster'. This bolt-action rifle, steeped in history and American craftsmanship, is a true collector's item that combines reliability, accuracy, and durability. Manufactured by the esteemed O.F. Mossberg & Sons between 1960-1968, the Chuckster is a testament to an era of ingenuity and precision.
Despite signs of extensive use and handling, this firearm is still in fair condition. It comes with a grey softcase, though it's important to note that the bolt gun is missing its magazine. The barrel and receiver show heavy pitting and moderate finish wear and the safety is very difficult to operate. However, the bore maintains its good condition with clean, well-maintained, minor wear marks and well-defined lands and grooves.
The Chuckster was designed to shoot a .22 Magnum caliber round, a higher velocity bullet suitable for small game and varmint hunting. It has a 24" barrel length and a 13.75" length of pull, making it a comfortable choice for a variety of shooters. The gun has a blued finish and a checkered walnut stock, which gives it a classic, elegant look. The sight optic consists of a front blade with an adjustable notched rear sight, offering flexibility and precision in shooting.
Acquiring this piece of American firearm history is an opportunity not to be missed. The Mossberg Model 640KA Chuckster offers an organic, hands-on shooting experience that embodies traditional values of marksmanship. It's more than just a firearm, it's a symbol of legacy and precision.
