Hi All,
I have a Winchester Model 12 (takedown) that has a hokey, homemade magazine pin spring and I'd like to make a replacement, closer to original. Looked online with Numrich and a few others who are all out of stock so I'm faced with making one of my own. Anyone have a good suggestion as to what material I should start with? I have two Model 1897's I can use as an example, I'm guessing they'd be similar, but I'm not sure what to start with. I'm thinking bailing wire probably wouldn't be good . Any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe "rawright" can make me one on that fancy new mill of his .
