Took less time to put it back to rights than the field repair took to get it home. Literally five minutes. No rust. And I have 0.1875 pop rivets in the tool box. I�ll drill out the aluminum pop rivets and replace with steel come spring when there isn�t 10� of fresh powder to deal with. (Or maybe not.)

Thanks all.
