Model M bolt mod disapointment

(1/1)

SidusNare:
I pulled my model M apart. I was pretty careful, used an exacto chisel blade for the rivets.

This is what I found when I got it apart.

Any thoughts on what to do about it or if its usable?

fohat.digs:
There are several posts regarding fixing cracks in the barrel plate (I think it is called a "frame" by Unicomp) using various techniques involving epoxy.

Unicomp will sell you a new one pretty cheap, too.

Not the end of the world. Cheer up

rknize:
I wrote a wiki for this:
