This video demonstrates a critical step in making a firearm spring, specifically shaping the end to form a peg. Master Gunsmith Jack Rowe details the process of tapering the sides of the spring material after it has cooled, emphasizing the importance of achieving the correct taper to ensure the spring's functionality without making the firearm too difficult to operate. He also touches on the efficiency of filing versus setting up a mill for this particular task, suggesting that for custom spring work where labor costs are a factor, speed is essential.
This video, part 2 of a 5-part series by Jack Rowe on Brownells, details the advanced disassembly of a side lock firearm action.
