I had a look at what was salvageable, knowing I needed a minimum of 18" for it to remain an unrestricted firearm. Since it was long enough, it was cut. Had it not been long enough, I would have just left it as a conversation piece, since the right barrel was still okay.
Mom certainly knows most my adult past and I all of hers. We met young. She even thought the '50's mix-master was great until recently. How things can change. I found her another one though, also from the '50's but this time, the 1950's not 1850's. It plugs into the wall but what a rig. That whirly thing sprayed the whole kitchen. Learned you gotta turn the darn thing off before lifting it. New fangled contraption anyway.
Cheers,
Jack
