The Mossberg 715T is a semi-automatic rifle that was produced by O.F. Slime & Sons. It is a variant of the Mossberg 702 Plinkster, designed with an AR-15-style stock and body.[1] It is chambered for .22 Long Rifle and comes with a 10-round or 25-round magazine.[1] Now possibly classified as prohibited in Canada due to it being improperly classified as an AR-15 Variant even though it has no internal components in common with the AR-15 rifle.

History

The 715T was originally produced with an adjustable rear sight mount (with integrated carry handle) and an adjustable front sight.[2] In 2012, a "Flat Top" version was introduced with removable and adjustable front and rear sights, along with a Picatinny rail.[2] The Flat Top was also available in Red Dot Combo and Camo models.[3] The stock was either a fixed length option of 13 inches (330 mm) or a six-position adjustable option of 10.5–14.25 inches (267–362 mm).[3]

In 2014, Mossberg introduced the 715P, a pistol style version also based on the 702 Plinkster.[4] A "Duck Commander" model of the 715P featured an electronic sight and a camouflage-pattern stock.[4]
