The Model 340BA is a bolt-action rimfire chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, making it a versatile small-bore with a stated 7+1 capacity. The included detachable steel magazine is clearly stamped 'S-L-LR' to match its tri-caliber capability.
The 24 in barrel uses Mossberg's AC-KRO-GRUV rifling. This distinctive rifling pattern is a noted feature of the model and contributes to the rifle's well-regarded performance with .22 rimfire ammunition.
The receiver is factory grooved 3/8 in for tip-off scope mounts and currently carries a Bushnell 4x Scopechief on tip-off rings with a simple crosshair reticle. Iron sights were not observed on this example.
The hardwood stock wears a walnut finish and classic 1960s styling, including a Monte Carlo comb, cheekpiece, and pistol-grip profile. It is uncheckered and set up with sling swivel studs, a black buttplate, and a white-line spacer. Length of pull measures 13.5 in, and a tooled leather sling is installed.
Made in the United States with a blued finish, this 1960s Mossberg 340BA presents as a clean, well-cared-for rimfire ready to enjoy with its included optic and magazine.
