Lower blade guard assembly for RIDGID miter saw

[jcleary]

I have an older RIDGID miter saw model #MS1290LZA that needs a lower blade guard assembly (circled in the image below). The part is obsolete according to RIDGID (part #830040). Does anyone here know of a compatible replacement?

Ive been able to get parts for my original Delta benchtop planer by looking at similar (later) models

Thanks, Jgaz. Yes I've tried eReplacementParts and a bunch of similar sites. They show the part as obsolete and other versions of the part they have don't list the MS1290LZA among compatible saws...that seems consistent with the part images as the design of the actuator arm appears to have changed. I've also reached out to RIDGID but haven't gotten an answer yet.
