Excuse the rambling...but interesting fact, I bought two extra series 80 plunger levers from cylinder and slide.. noticed the new levers were a wee bit thicker and had no N mark designating national match. Emailed them asking if the part was manufactured by them or if Colt is omitting the N. Well before receiving a reply, I tried to install one and realized the thickness (.55 of an inch) was different from my TiN coated N lever and my 1 lever (both were around .40 of an inch).....So I decided to file it down with a diamond file then touch it up with a 10,000 grit stone until it fit nicely. It fits nicely now...
After this I check my email and have a reply from C&S. The levers they have on sale at this moment are made in house by them. They are machined from bar stock. This is due to series 80 parts being difficult to acquire from Colt. Assuming covid caused production delays [emoji2371].... I followed that email up with notifying them of the disparities between parts width and asked if they were going to make the other series 80 actuator out of bar stock bc I'd purchase it as well for piece of mind as bar stock is superior to the stamped variety.
