dirtyjim Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 on of the problems fitting home-made levers to military floorplates has always been the radius at the very back of the floorplate makes it difficult to make the lever lie flat against the floorplate .when the latch is fitted the lever will try to follow the radius & lift the front of the lever off the floorplate. my latest solution was to silver solder a washer over the hole then file the front half of the washer down level with the floorplate. i'm still shaping the lever, it was made from 1/2"x1/2" cold roled steel. washer soldered on & lever rough shaped washer filed down flat side view of the washer & lever fitted to the floorplate, latch hasnt been fitted yet, i still need to do a little work to the underside of the lever before i fit the latch.

Ron J Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 That's cool. When it's shaped in it will follow the lines of the "brought back" front of the trigger guard. Nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
