Maybe in a few months.
Price - well it kinda goes like this -

"They" make 1000's of simple non-bearing stock detent arms for pennies in Thailand and spit out piles of stock springs on million dollar CNC spring machines for a few more pennies.

We spent the time to develop the better product.

We manually make maybe 100 microbearing detent arms and, one by one, wind, trim, bend and trim each spring.

That's why it costs more. You can't just go down to the hardware store and find a specially formed torsion spring and the arms are made, one by one.

Thanks and sorry about the expense.
