Need a Mossberg part

My much older uncle, who does not believe the internet has any real value in the the modern word, needs a part for a Mossberg that he has been looking for for several years.

We have a bet that I can find the part in one day that has eluded him for years.

I need a cocking knob for a Mossberg model 51M .22 auto rifle.

Already tried "gunparts" and they don't have it.

Need your help guys. Don't want to lose the bet and would like to introduce another old timer to the modern age.

Any ideas?

  Go over to Havlin Sales at www.havlinsales.com Havlin has all sorts of hard to find Mossberg parts- I've put quite a few old .22 Mossbergs back together (and made a few bucks) with their help. What ever happened with that M1 Garand you were looking at last year?

  Mark,
  
  What a memory!! Tried for days to get the guy at the pawn shop to come down to what you guys told me was a more reasonable amount. Never would do it and I passed on the deal. Still think I should have sucked it up and bought it. In my older years, with a little more cash, I think I am paying more than I should for some of the things I want but are finding harder to find.
  
  As far as I know, it is still there if you want to travel all the way to Killeen (home of Fort Hood) TX.
  
  Thanks for the lead on the part. I will contact them tomorrow and let you know what I find.

  Mark gave you a good tip. Havelin is your best source. He has someone making new knobs to fit the 151. They would probably also work on the 51a or 51b, but I don't think they would work on the 51.
  The design is quite different between the 51 and 51a. Check the model # marking carefully.
  Be careful, have fun!
