From what I could find it was made by Mossberg for WA. I would have to dig further but some other manufacturer may have made some, but I believe it's a Mossberg.
Hope this helps
Peace,
Gordon

Chuck24 when I have purchased store brands of guns I log into the Numrich arms forum and ask they will let you know within a day or two. They will tell you what the model number it is the same as yours in the builders guns.

From looking at various photos from around the net, it appears to be a close match to the Mossberg 320KA I had several years ago.

I cannot say for sure if that's the direct equivalent model, but if the 100a is anything like my old 320KA, then you have a great shooter. Enjoy it.

Mossberg made some really good .22s in the old days. I wished they still made them.......
