Lever question

Post by Knifeguy420 »

Hey there Bill and anyone else able to answer this question. Besides your leverletto is massaro and AKC the only ones that still make leverlocks today? Does Armando beltrame still do leavers? Reason i ask is cause other then the new AKC shell pullers ive seen i dont see a whole lot of levers being produced? Thanks. Dan

AFAIK, Massaro is the only Maniago maker of leverlocks.
Hubertus in Solingen makes them.

TMK, AB never made lever locks. They sold LLs made by Massaro.

Frank Beltrame also sells lever locks, as does AKC.
Regardless how they are marked, Massaro makes them.
Everyone in Maniago sells everyone else's stuff. Shops specialize in making one or two items, and contract everything else.
