Good news.
The uphill struggle for finding fore-end pins for MS detachable stock models has come to an end!
Michael Miedler (Austria) can produce them upon request; he recently produced a new one for me and he was also able to repair a broken leaf spring on a damaged pin I sent him. All work is professionally done and stock pins fit well. Michael can be contacted through his email miedler.michael@gmail.com or through his website http://mannlich-schöenauer.com
