The broken spring must be annealed, welded, and rehardened. If that process is followed, then the metal properties of the rehardened spring are as they were originally. I would go along with the weld like someone mentioned, to get by till I could get a new one made, options for a new spring have been mentioned here...why would someone not choose to get a new one? The weld can be quick, cheap, and sure. I would agree with getting a replacement to carry around for peace of mind if you don't have a back-up gun. [/quote]

I would also be buying him a gift subscription to the double gun journal, or other shooting magazine of his liking. Offers like that don't come up too often!! Pietro

First, measure with a bit of extra..cut...bend...and then the process of taking down and creating the pin on the end...it's very thick and rough still at the moment. Will finish it Monday/Tuesday. I'm using this as another new chapter for my book. So a good excuse to do one... For the sheer discussion point...I'm going to TIG weld the old one...if I can...and send that back too...

Knowing zero about spring making I'd like to ask why you bend a straight piece of steel instead of kinda marking it out & cutting the gap out between the arms?..Is it a steel "Grain" deal for strength,....& therefore better,er ,well Spring just curious....this looks like fun to do.... Good man T roger

This way allows me to really shape the metal. Getting to the inside surfaces always a mild challenge. Anyway must dash mum and people over for her 80th Chin chin TT My Blog.... http://www.vintageshotgun.com My e-book; http://www.vintageshotgun.com/ebook/index.html
