I just had a nice conversation with David Clay of DRC this morning! He has had some tribulations of late but expects to be back in the swing of this by this spring. I actually just bought my second Large Loop Lever from him. This one was a S/S unit for my Marlin 1894SS. Great customer service BTW! ...
