What to do when...

What do you do when the gun you love doesn't have the feature you want.

Raw HM100X no drop for the side lever.

Very solid and works a treat.
 
I too was worried when I 1st started reading this then the full pic came into view and I thought that’s a neat idea and nice looking piece, myself with nerve damage in my hands and fingers that would be a nice option for my HMx 30 and 357, it would make things easier for me just like putting a longer charge handle on my AR’s and I could maybe see that on my Bully .30.

Ok how much? When can I get one? And I’m waiting. I would sure like to try something like that for sure if I ever had the opportunity.
 
Thanks all for the kind words,. This was just a garage project definitely not machining. 

imold, I am already thinking of some things I would have done differently. If I ever end up with some free time and make another one I'll send you this one. I would love to be able to help someone stay shooting.

As far as someone else making them, knock yourself out, if you cornered the market on lever-levers you could probably make up to two bucks each! lol.
