I am hoping that someone would know where I can find early commercial style floor plate release lever. These used to be listed in Midway and Brownells catalouges , but no more. I am looking for the semi finished new made levers. I need two of them.
Help finding 98 Mauser sporter parts

the ones brownells & midway used to sell were made by meier works and they are no longer in business.
i ocassionaly make a batch of them but right now my lathe is down so i cant make the latch blank or floorplate hole bushing.
i make the lever from 5/16" keystock and a 8-32 screw. i rough shape the lever then drill & tap it for the 8-32 screw. i weld the screw in from the top then file the weld down flush and finish shape the lever. i use a 6-32 set screw on the latch and a 4-40 for the detent. when i do a run its $60 per kit or $100 installed.
here are a few from one of my batches.
