Received email from Diana with clear info why the 470 assembly don't fit the 460.
So unless a 470 cocking leaver is fitted, and then the retaining screw might be in a different place, it looks like a custom assembly is the answer.

I'm 6' 6" and have no problem handling the rifle, but if the 470 is much longer it would be akward IMO.
Still seems that a talented machinist could pull it off and build something to custom fit the 460 with some kind of adapting break like that.
I was given an estimated price by UMAREX that the 470 TH in November will run close to $800. For that price I could EASILY find a gently used 460, purchase a DIY TH grade 4 walnut stock and pay a machine practically $300+ to "tinker" and I'd still come out ahead.
Someone out there has to be able to do this. Maybe more a question of demand when it comes down to it.
Still, $400-$500 difference leaves a lot of fudging room.
