Go to Mossberg 22 LR Models and Specifications scroll down to the 400. This may provide some information for you about manufacture dates.
You may want to try Numrich Gun Parts I have purchased Mossberg parts from them in the past.
I would encourage you to get your daughter involved in 4-H Shooting Sports. Both of my daughters shoot in Boone County's program. If Hamilton County does not have a good program, check us out in Boone County. The sign up is in October (if I recall correctly) Send me a PM if you have any...
Next Generation,
It is very unfortunate that your local 4-H program has such low turnout for the Shooting Sports program. I am fortunate that in Boone County, we have over 400 kids in our Shooting Sports Program. Both of my daughters shoot and I am a rifle instructor. We offer 5 disciplines...
I just purchased a Smith & Wesson Model 41 from Mary at Downham's this morning. She was very helpful and friendly to me. The pistol was on consignment and I had a question for the owner of the gun. She made a call to him and within 2 minutes had the answer. I spoke to her briefly about her...

You can't go wrong on an 870. I have shot one several times and it is a lot of fun. The first time my daughter saw me shoot doubles from a back yard thrower, she said, "How can you hit two birds with a gun like that?" I told her you just have to be real good. I didn't tell her I just got...
I'm with Tripp11. Best way to shop is www.you name the store.com. No taxes, no gas, no time wasted. I figure with gas prices and value of time, the shipping and handling is cheaper than actually visiting the store.
7th Stepper,
That was an inspirational story. I agree, it seems society doesn't make men like that very often in these times.
As a side note, is your handle "7th Stepper" related to the Dave Ramsey philosopy?
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that our elected representatives only think about the next election, not what is best for the country. They just want to keep their job.
I keep hoping that the next election will start to turn this around. The really sad part is that I started hoping...
