The Model 200K is an early Mossberg bolt action shotgun shotgun with a detachable box magazine positioned forward of the trigger guard. Its 2+1 capacity and 2-3/4 inch chamber make it a straightforward 12 gauge setup from the era, and the short production window in the 1950s adds interest for Mossberg collectors.
The factory Mossberg C-Lect adjustable choke is installed and offers on-barrel adjustment from Improved Cylinder through Full, providing practical pattern control without changing parts. The 28 inch steel barrel retains the adjustable choke assembly and is paired with open sights, including a barrel-mounted rear sight for simple sighting.
The shotgun wears a blued steel barrel, while the receiver shows a light silver/gray in-the-white appearance from worn or polished-off bluing, with a walnut stock that includes a ventilated recoil pad and white line spacer. The forearm is black composition with molded diamond checkering for a secure pump stroke, and the top-tang sliding safety is ambidextrous by design.
Additional details include the circled "P" proof, United States manufacture, and serial number exempt status. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, supporting a traditional field fit in a classic blued-and-walnut configuration.
