I ordered a rear ladder sliding sight off eBay before I saw your reply. I compared it with another m39 and it looks like its really just that one top piece that needs to be swapped - apparently by punching out the pin where the sight pivots when you raise it for long distance shooting. Will find out...

Wow, thats a nice value increase! It didnt come with the original sights, so Ill have to get some. I am actually considering selling it.
Is there a particular reason it increased so much recently? What might it be worth in another 5,10,15 yrs?

So I’ve had this for about 9 years now without knowing much about it…other than that it’s the coolest thing I own. I didn’t pay much for it at the time and my eyes about popped out of my head when I saw what some of these go for now. Sights are after market and I really like them. Stock has no crack...
