Ok, ok! I am a fumble fingered knothead. That's why I am not a gunsmith. I know my limitations and I have 99.9% of my gun work done by a gunsmith.
However, a couple weeks ago I had my Remington 700 SPS inverted in a cradle during a cleaning ritual, went to turn it over and when the safety button caught on the rubber padding ..."Pop! Ping, ping, pingggggg!" The button and about 1/4" of the lever went bouncing across my shop floor!
Gun Parts Corp. is "out of stock". I have standing orders at two different gunsmiths' shops. It's been three weeks and still no luck. :banghead::banghead: Neither 'smith thinks welding is a viable alternative as the metal is crystalized and looks more like potmetal than steel.
Does anyone have a spare safety lever for a Remington 700 they would part with?
Thanks for any help.
