With a normal grip, my left thumb is next to the takedown lever.
The stock lever chews up the side of the thumb when shooting.
I have tried a couple replacement levers, and they provide a better rest for the thumb. However, when shooting, the lever rotates down (clockwise) about 1/2 inch, because the end of the thumb is behind the pivot point.
I have looked for a smooth replacement lever but have not found one.
Changing the grip to place the thumb far enough forward to be in front of the pivot point is not possible, without making the left hand mostly useless gripping the rest of the firearm.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
