Model M bolt mod disapointment
« on: Thu, 17 May 2012, 16:04:17 »
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?

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
