Bye-Bye AP AD's?
Spoke with my AD yesterday. He reckons AP have told them to buy in $600k (usd) of AP stock per year or lose their Dealership.

The pins are pushed out in the direction of the arrows.Place the bracelet in a padded vice, or hold sturdily on a piece of padded wood....or two with a small space between for the pin to have room to come out. After the pin is started out, it can be pulled the rest of the way with the pliers. This photo shows two pins partially out.Here we see the parts. You will notice we have two full links and one 1/2 link. The other parts are the locking tube and the pin. This photo also shows th
