Quoted from leckmeck:I know Steve said he’ll never make the button-style bars again. My understanding is the up-front cost to bankroll the tooling with a new fabricator is prohibitive. That said, I’d certainly pay $250-350 for a shiny new bar if a nice game was missing one.
My understanding is there are four dies needed to make the lockdown bar. He has three of them. The fourth went missing and that's the issue.
