Any One In Spring Making?

[Les B]

I didn't see anyone mention on milling a piece of 1080 spring bar. If I need a spring with a lot of taper for the thickness I will soft solder this spring bar to a piece of heavy flat bar and mill the taper first and then polish out the cutter marks. Next heat up to 1500* and form the curve needed. On some springs I had jigs made to get the correct form on V type springs for double shotguns.

Go to American Gunsmithing Institute's web site and order the videos on making springs. The info is well presented and easy to follow.

Thanks guys a great read my little project is to make a ten round Magazine for a beretta sport semi auto the fabrication side is a piece of cake.The spring is of interest though My thought is to rework the flat recoil spring off the mower, anneal it reform it into three or four zigzags of 900 thou length legs and then re temper it ten rounds weighs about twenty seven grams or so is it possible has any one done it before
