Modern .22lr ammo in old Mossberg?

[Mikey]

I have and old Mossberg 342k (from the 50's or 60's), is it okay to use modern "high velocity" ammo like CCI Stingers in it? Or should I stick with standard stuff?

Is this the tube fed model?

I have the same one (broken firing pin again) ... it shot high velocity fine last year.

Nope magazine fed.

I shoot modern stuff through a Stevens 410-22 over/under from the 40's.

Just took a look at mine... its a 351KA, late 50s I think..... FWIW, I put a couple hundred rounds of Wildcat 22 through the thing without a hiccup.

Being from the 40's and 50's myself I don't consider a Mossberg from the 60's as old. Shoot whatever you want in it. The gun will still outlive you.

I've lost track of the number of modern .22's I've put through my "old" Mossbergs.

Load, fire, smile; repeat to your heart's content. The only damage will be to your wallet from buying ammo.

I have a old Stevens tube fed I got when I was 12 it still runs better then Any of my new(high tech) 22's. And I shoot new ammo through it.
