I'm gathering info about the law enforcement use of the Mossberg Patrol / Scout.
I am a member of a military rifle club in Australia. I am trying to get the Mossberg Patrol/Scout series of firearms added to the allowable bolt action & iron sight competition list for my club. In order to do this, I need to put forward quite a case to the old guard of the club. I need to prove fairly undeniably that the Mossberg Patrol series of bolt action, iron sight as primary sight system rifles are, or have been, used by a national Military or Police Force.
I am wondering if someone could possibly give me some pointers. Do you know of any law enforcement agencies that use the Mossberg Patrol? I am hoping that someone in such an organisation could verify the model & layout they use.
I have been advised that "If they reply with the agency, model number and specifications that would be a strong case for inclusion."
If I can get this process completed, I, and I think many other people will want to purchase a patrol series rifle for competition use. Those old WW2 Enfields & the like are fast wearing out, and becoming rudely expensive. I think it would especially become a popular choice for beginners.
If I could get even the name of an agency that has at some point used them, I could try and get in contact with someone there.
Mossberg Inc hasn't been helpful.
There are a few magazine articles I've found that suggest that it was at some point a law enforcement option, but I can find any actual specific examples of use.
Somewhere there is someone who has the answer, and would like to help. Hopefully reading this now.
