In picture number 2, is that a NM rear sight? Or a shiper version

Thumper - looks like trees to me - at first i thought it might be a M1C

Your probably right, my eyes are old and don't work so well anymore.

Also, in the last picture, the scope tripod legs, one of them is off the box, kind of hard to hold steady don't you think
