Incredible ain't it .... our guns would not function without them!! IMO perhaps one of the most ''taken for granted'' components .... even down to a humble trigger return.
I have a useful book on spring making by Tubel Caine and a print out from Brownells (or small book thingie) ...... and also have spring stock on hand, also from Brownells.
Over time I have had partial success at spring work but always tend to get my failures at tempering stage. Does anyone have any other text book, web source .... whatever, that is useful for ''how to'' type info. I can manage but nowhere well good enough ... i want to learn more. This despite being a degree qualified engineer (long ago) ....... never really got far enough into practical from the theory metallurgy. Actually ''doing'' and succeeding is a different ball game!
Always seems to have that ''black art'' mystery to it.
