New Haven 251c

[Ritten]

A buddy of mine emailed me some pictures of a rifle he had sitting behind his closet for the last 20 years or so. It was handed down to him by his grandfather. He claims that it's a New Haven 251c, but it has dual triggers and was wondering what the purpose of two is. It's a .22LR. I've looked online and found some old manuals for the 251c, but nothing shows or mentions dual triggers.

Anyone familiar with these?

The trigger appears to be laminated. One of the laminations is not hooked up with disconnector bar. I won't be a set trigger set up with a semi-auto rifle. You can contact Vic Havlin who is one of the most knowledgeable Mossberg experts and he also sell parts to keep these fine old rimfires going.

I have the same New Haven .22, it's a great rifle. The firing pin has broken once since I have owned it. It was easily replaceable from havilsales.com.
