Thanks Mudhen, you described my ejector plate with the allen heads perfectley. Thank God my has not yet broken. I'll be on the look out and start trying to gather tools for when this might happen (knocking on wood). It also looks like the barrel at the front of the forearm has a bit longer tang on it than my old one too, with some slight differences in the inside of the plastic forearm molding as well.
So if I understand you corectly, I should be able to mount his barrel on mine (or a new one for that mater) with my same older forearm and all should be fine?
Thanks for your input on this.
