I have an old Mossberg Model 152k (semi auto 22). I know its not worth much monitarily, but this is the gun my dad taught me to shoot with and I wouldnt part with it for the world. I remember spending many a Saturday afternoon (1968, 69)walking down the railroad tracks knocking off wayward sparrows from their perch atop of the telephone lines. Thats when I realized how much I love the smell of burnt gunpowder! Anyway, it doesnt have a serial # and I understand that they (Mossberg) werent required to have one before 1958. I'm taking it in to a gunsmith this weekend to have a s/n stamped on the barrel. I figure if Im not at home and some thug burglerizes my house, I'll have a way of getting it back if it ever turns up in some lame pawn shop, or police custody. Is this a good move? I figure it shouldnt ruin the value of it too much, and you cant put a price on sentimental value. Whatcha think? ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
P.S. It didnt have a scope on it back then. Is it me, or does 22 LR powder smell differently than all others?
