Well I don’t own any Barlings so I was able to pick up this one on EBay . It needed some work and bad pictures kept the price fantastic. This thread is picture heavy. I started out cleaning, retort,reaming, etc. . The stem needed some work Tooth marks and the button was in not the best shape. I fixed all those issues as best I could.. Next I was pretty happy then I dropped the stem and the Tendon stapped off. This is the original stem so I want to keep it that way. I contacted Walker pipe and he will be replacing the tendon.
