I ordered some high strength .08" stainless sheet and a diamond file to try to make my own for a few Model 7s I have. I fortunately have a complete Model 7 to pattern off of. I will make the trigger and bolt stop pins, too. And action bolts. Although those pins are much easier to make from 1/8" drill rod. Dremel tool mandrels are popular as well, my research shows.
I have a tiny Emco Unimat lathe and mill that should work well for these little parts.
And darn it, I need to source the bolt stop springs! Hmm, I wonder if any AR15 lower component springs might work in a pinch.
Numrich has NOS bolt stops for XP-100 pistols in stock, and it looks like they might be close enough to cut down and make work. I hope I don't fail and have to source bolt stops anyways.
'Build some Model 7s,' I said. :/
