I emailed Akin about a left side for a Grant and was told, after several months and follow up emails, that they could or would not provide a left side lever. Never said why they could not so I let it slip through the cracks. I did consult with two very talented smiths, one in Texas and one in PA. One said trade it for a left side and the other said it could be done fairly easily, labor intensive. We were undecided whether to craft a new lever, keep the right when the Grant moved on down the road to another owner, or cut and weld. I leaned to a new lever. Cut and weld just did not sound good to me. I have since adapted to the right side and use old hulls, so less of a need to save for reloading. But I still think of this when I go out to shoot clays, and may just have a left side fabricated when I hit Lotto.
Happy holidays,
John
