Mossberg Model C Rifle 22Cal SL&LR
We have a stamped "Mossberg Model C 22Cal S.L.&LR."Bolt Action Single Shot. Can't find any info on a Model C. Do these go by another number and they we're never stamped??
UPDATE-- It sucks to get old.(Can we blame it on that??) Somehow we we were hung on that this was a Marlin and couldn't even read our own words. Thanks Rufe for getting us a little straighter on the tracks. We bad.

Wally, have never seen a Marlin with a lettered model. Mossberg and Stevens (Whippet) both had a Model C, but all Marlins I have ever seen were numbered.
If you get no answer here, would try rimfirecentral.

The Model C Mossberg was made 1931-1932. The "go to" people for anything with a Mossberg are Victor and Cheryl Havlin at havlinsales.com Victor used to work for Mossberg, he and Cheryl run the Mossberg Collector's Association, and are really great people to deal with. And buy a copy of Vic's book- "More Gun for the Money".0 -
Do a GOOGLE search to see if there any Marlin collectors forum(s) on the net. Or Rimfire Central, as the previous poster noted.
See if any have access to this book? Likely it will be noted in the book. Unless it is a unknown one of a kind?
EDIT #1,
The Model C Mossberg, is kind of rare and unusual. The only made it for one year. According to the Mossberg book. It was one of their first generation guns. A larger version of the Model B.

wallyent, can you post a pic? Marlin started making single shot bolt action .22's circa 1930, google images of a Model 65. 0 -
I have a model 99C marlin about 60 years old but is semi auto no where near any thing like yours but the maker Marlin 0 -
Perhaps it is a light strike on stamping or "C" is what is left from re-finishing by Bubba's heavy handed buffing of "2O"'
Pic's would really help, really good pic's would really really help.

Added it's OK. Rifle identified. Agree with the one year of production. Mossberg isn't my first choice.0 -
UPDATE-- Here's the stampings and pictures. 0 -

Mossberg isn't Marlin
It sucks getting older. We can't read anymore. For some reason we had Marlin on the brain.0 -
