[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3307367, member: 34578"] So I found another gem. The Mossberg 51M (a). Made between 1939 and 1946. This one has the original No. 1A front ramp sight, the original s102 rear sight, and the s130 peep sight. And you all know me by now, I got it on the cheap. The sights alone are worth more than I paid for it. It is complete and appears functional. Despite the fact that when I got it the bolt handle would not stay in. A bit of Googlefu showed me it was assembled incorrectly. So after 30 minutes of figuring out that it is very hard to assemble this thing the right way I finally got it together correctly. Now it cycles, and the bolt handle stays in place.
