Yes, talk to John Connelly, great guy, will steer you straight, great friend to the community. Send an email with your phone number, you'll enjoy talking with him.



John brought one to my attention that had been sitting for 15 years after being done by Joe Longobardi, long since retired, took it apart, and saw that the bulletproofing had been done just like that.

Using the information in the link I posted above, I bullet proof my own Columbias...The last one I did, a 1936 version, I purchased one of John's billet A-24 assemblies, and it is a beautiful thing. Using the billet A-24, you don't need to cut down the cross....
