Okay Guys I am not trying to keep this post going forever But, I finally after 5? years have managaed to finally complete the restoration of this peice. I had the toggle latch re done ( into the straw that it should have been) Ken Karstead was gracious enought to squeeze it in, I had two masters do the rest. The grips were re done by Hugh Clark ( The smashed checkering was redon and looks beautiful) And GT did a spectacular job on the broken Cal 9 M/M magazine bottom. It is now a NEW AE Fat Barrel. I think this piece deserved the 2nd chance at life. I will post photos ASAP.
