Popping in here to see if I can get lucky.

I have an early Surefire 610R 1911 light that needs a Surefire slide stop lever to mount it.
Surefire doesn't service them any more.
So, if any body by mere chance happens to have one or knows of one, a heads up would be greatly appreciated.
It's a great light and it would suck to bin it or break it up for parts.

Pics, cause pics are good.

It would be a relatively easy project for someone with access to a lathe/a drill press and a welder. You could even make an improved MR07 style slide stop with the rotating pin.

Standard slide stop and .200" tool steel rod (or .25" for a pivoting MR07 style and a C clip) is all you or who ever is making it for you would need.

I'm thinking the easiest way is to copy the original.
My understanding is that they were pressed into the slide stop, no weld, I could be wrong.
I wouldn't mind the weld personally.
The shaft itself would need to be around 0.367"-0.370" longer than on the standard slide stop at a minimum.
The 0.0367" was the minimum I got when measuring the housing were the shaft inserts.
I think it would need to be around 0.385" or a little more. Most pictures appear to show it sticking out beyond the house as a normal slide stop does on the frame of a 1911.
