Remington 700 & 40x bolt release

Have acquired several Rem 700 & a 40 X barreled actions from a retired bench rest shooter. Both have competition triggers and the bolt release normally found in front of the trigger is gone
To remove the bolt, there is a spring loaded pull on the left side of the action 1,25" forward from the rear of the action. The spring loaded pull is self contained and screws into the action with a 3/8 nut. One of my newly acquired actions is missing this piece. Does anyone know where I can find one?

I'm pretty sure that's a Sinclair bolt release.
SINCLAIR INTERNATIONAL Sinclair Bolt Stops | Brownells
Thanks Chris, did further checking & that is what it is. The shooter I got the actions from installed special comp triggers which did not have the standard Rem bolt release or required its removal. Still I have that ugly hole & nothing left to do but fill with the Sinclair.
IMHO, I dont like them because they are made of AL and stick out like a sore thumb.
