After taking a look at current throw lever options, like the MK Machining 3D printed, MGM SwitchView machined/anodized aluminum, and Aadland (printed or molded plastic I believe), I went looking for more of the Universal Coasters that I bought years ago as a temporary solution. When I bought them years ago they were pretty inexpensive but the idea of using the fishing product as a firearm accessory caught on and now they are being sold at pretty decent markup. Still, they're cheaper (at less than $10 ea) than any of the aforementioned solutions, and I can orient (clock) them anywhere I want on the mag ring, which is not possible with the purpose built units. I don't like whacking the throw lever while cycling the bolt, and with some scope/action combinations that means I have to either clock the throw lever where I like (which I can with the coasters) or limit how far I rotate the mag ring CW (with one of the purpose built products).
So you can laugh at my cobbed-together rig with the cheap quasi-throw lever until you realize that it's an AIAX with a Minox ZP5 or Bighorn TL2/Bartlein barreled action with an S&B. I like 'em and I'm gonna keep using 'em.
