It would be cheap, think from Bretta they are around 150?

To make them one off in cnc would be silly but a guess for a job for one would 200 250? To draw it up, set up, tool up an make it would be 2 set ups to make it, more numbers would help bring it down, but why factory ones are fine and easy to modify for sake of 20min job . . .

Havnt you worked it out yet.
Buy once cry once,howas are cheap for a reason!

the other pain is that the last time i talked to beretta they wouldnt sell to me because I am not in the trade

iv got rifles of all brands i dont care about this brand vs that

Try some durafix on it? It seems to be a bit harder than the aluminium. Easy enough to put on.

Question I have is why do they get mushed? I thought the bolt stop only really came into play when cycling the action.

my stupid fault, i was fireing empty 270 cases so I could knock the primers out to reprime with my standard primers
as they would slide forward when hit by the fireing pin hit them because of the 270s shoulder bieng slightly back
making them too far forward for the ejector to grab

so i would lift my rifle up with the bolt back and hit the but on the ground and out would pop the shell,
but subsequently the bolt was hammering the bolt stop

i dont know what that durafix is but iv got some kneed-it that ill give it a go

The durafix is sort of a hard bronzing material for welding aluminium. Means you van just just work with a butane or LPG torch and it is pretty hard.
