Check over on the "G" with Clintm20, or maybe frankusmc, I think he has an original M2 with a skate rail. There was a guy making repro ones or so I was told. Some one here may have a line on that.

My 1941 was very complete except for the skate rail, sorry but it was removed by the rancher that used it.

 I have some small sections of rail from when I built my M-2, a rancher had used complete M-3 rails as fence post, I pulled a couple out and cut them down to make the rail for my M-2,I have a couple small sections that I saved incase someone needed to have some made they would have a good pattern, if you want a piece let me know and I'll send it too you.
