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

Have you thought of haveing it sleeved? The English do it on a regular basis with great success.
Regarding the mix master..beware of technology as it will bite you...or spray pancake batter all over the kitchen |

Kirk Merrington would have sleeved one side only. Now you must do both sides and a rib. Oh well.

A while back, there was a discussion of "Skillet Dents". Must one be concerned about "Mixer Dents"?

Skillet dents could be quite serious. Mixer dents would depend on how old the raisins that flew from the batter might be. Although..... a hard 9 mm raisin flung at high velocity might be a tad dangerous

I wonder if it would be possible to take another set of Vulcan barrels and have the forward portion of the undamaged barrels added to a aft end portion of the original barrels, I think it's called monoblocking???
If it were my dads gun I'd look into the possibility and cost be damned. |
