I bought multiple parts for this rifle as it had been destroyed in a lion hunting horse wreck. Due to the excellent sight I was able to get all the correct parts even though I had never worked on a model 81. The customer was thrilled to get his rifle back in perfect working order.MGW was the only place that had all of the parts. Thanks MGW
