I'm guessing that gorgeous handle is a powdercoat? - john

 Yes it is powder coated .  Trying to clean up the pimple face casted /chrome handles .

  I found out that you have to watch these when outgassing  , they will spread out under heat !!

Joe, thank you very much for the part and the pictures. I was able to replace the part, remove my hack and polished the surface with tooth pastes and a rotary tool. 

Your suggested trick of getting the back hinge pin was dead on and made the job very simple. 

I have some cleanup and polishing to do with glass polish tomorrow, but looking better, already. 

Again, thank you sir!

 I have a stick that had broken single foot guides , and wanted to try powder coated guides .
    Kind of interesting on how well it will perform with braid and mono.

Wow! You're getting good at that stuff.  Nice work.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Did the DIY corona thingy help much?

AT times ,yes it does help .   I don`t shoot with it all the time , I put it on when I have problems shooting the second and third coats . 
 
    One of the observations I had yesterday shooting the second coat was power not sticking .
I am shooting into a plastic tupperware box and it was holding a lot of static charge . I do have a good ground rod that I clamp to the box and the metal stand to knock it down . Yet yesterday when I touched the box , I felt the charge .

Slipped the Corona ring on and had better results . I am still playing with where to place it on the barrel .   One inch from the tip and it does collect a lot of powder .   It also helps with back ionization spots that I see when shooting to close trying to overcome the corners that won't take powder .

 At times I just blow off the powder , stick it back in the oven , it is supposed to know down static charge in the parts and try again .   Still learning and experimenting .

One thing that I wanted to see is if the corona ring would help steal some Micro amps from the cloud .
      For example the vevor gun has the switch for 30 35 40 45 and 50 kilovolts .  No way to change micro amps  .     I did get from the engineers what the values of the micro amp were at each setting .

30 kv = 99 micro amps  35 = 92  40 =83  45 =70  50 =50 micro amps .  Those numbers are kind of high for re-coatings according to what the better guns do .
     Thoughts from anybody electrically minded .
