WTB:Original 1885 Long Tail Sear

Not looking for one from MVA or Wyoming Armory. (My assumption is that they are the same) but would like an original. Probably a long shot (600+ yds?) but you never know 

Thanks

Do you have a belt grinder?  I think I could grind one out in less than an hour from flat precision stock, using the belt grinder and a well marked outline in Dykem.  Then just have to fine polish and harden.

Could also freehand one out on the mill, I've had good success doing that to an outline.

I looked in my extensive 1885 part inventory, I don't have one.

If you can believe it, I don't have one either.

That thought crossed my mind Dave.  First I think I will try bending and re-profiling to match an original.  When I mess that up, I will think of something else.  Maybe golf.
