Tyler, Bring the part down to Phoenix with you when you come - I have a friend who can weld it for you. Gary O. In a message dated 1/9/2015 11:57:49 A.M.

Any suggestions for fixing this cracked Pintle on my M15? I'm hoping to meet you guys in person for the first time at the Wrinkleboat Ran-Tan but can't unless I fix this. I'm in the Sacramento area. I e-mailed some TIG welders on Craigslist and nobody will reply to me- I guess they don't want the work or can't do this sort of thing. I found the patent for Kurt Pfahl who invented this type of locking pintle in 1977 but can't find any record of if he's still alive or still making them new.
