Any gunsmith making stainless bolt handles

I have a 70 classic in stainless and would like to replace the ugly OEM handle. I talked to Mark Penrod and he makes them but is not taking any new work. Can anybody make a stainless handle, without a year wait? Thanks

I not only think they are ugly, I think the handle should be longer and not so near my knuckle.

Curious about the same thing.

You both got it wrong

Yeah I can make what every you want but it's going to be a few months lead time.
I can make it out of what ever Stainless you want
316, 410, 416. Can weld it up and polish it out too and bead blast to match the finish.
This will not be a $90 knob weld job though

Try Jim Baiar at Halfmoon. He made one that was used on my James Anderson / Dean Zollinger custom stainless M70. He also made the barrel and it is scary accurate.
