Greetings all; After 6+ months, gun farts has not shipped the magazine spring I need to finish the conversion to a smaller cartridge in old meat in the pot.
This is a flat leaf, bent in the shape of a W. S/B nominally 1/2 to 5/8" wide, folded at 3 places around a 3/32 drill shank. What spec of steel do I need? and how do I heat treat it to put the spring into it once its been shaped/bent properly? Blued steel carton strapping is about what it should look like and its about the right thickness, but that stuff is pretty soft, and I doubt it could be hardened enough to make this. Thanks all. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
