Need Mossberg Model 51M(b) Sear

Can’t find one of them in stock at the usual spots. Mine broke first time I shot it after doing some restoration. Are there places that will make me one? Or should I break out the files and other tools? Want to give this to my dad. He had one growing up.

I checked all the parts places I could find. Also eBay.

I emailed them. No can do. So anyone out there with the ability to make me one? I am aware of the pricing of doing business. Thanks.

Found someone to make me one. I think we are good.

Never got this done. Too much travel. I however did find one. Slink’s Gun parts.

Arrived today. Wrong part. Didn’t match picture on their site. Search continues

I am afraid that seems to be the only option right now. I might buy a second rifles and use or sell this one for parts. It’s not like vintage Mossbergs are expensive to collect. Putting back together a Model 46M right now that Gunny gave me last August. To say rough would be an understatement. But it’s cleaning up nicely. Maybe someone here would build me the part? Who knows.

I checked there already. Thanks. I contacted the seller earlier to show the part received versus the part needed.

Good point BBBill. What type of metal would you start with for the blank? Heading out of town a week from tomorrow. Be in Munich for a week. Then home for a week and then in DC for two weeks. Would like to get started but sometimes circumstances overtake.

My son said that. But it doesn't have a Spring hole drilled and it doesn't have the same edge on the ends.

Don’t have any of that laying around. Anything I use I would have to acquire. See what I can find when I get back from Germany. No idea how I would heat treat something. Sure I can figure that out too.

Found one on ebay. Waiting for it to arrive. It was actually the whole trigger assembly. Just the ticket. We will see how it works out.

The part arrived today. It was just want I needed with a few extra parts included. I posted about this rifle a couple years ago.

That post is closed. I did note in the post that it didn't work well when I tried it out. It didn't work because the sear broke in half. Assembling now. Glad to get it back together for another try. Even though it took a couple years. Keep in mind that I travel 40% of the time. Sometimes I am just not home to work on things.
