Hi to all, This is the latest update for those who follow this insane quest! I just received notice that my order for NUMRICH Luger drum replacement mainspring, 1075 spring steel, is on the dock, ready for shipment!

... Well, nobody told me it just doesn't show up magically on my doorstep kind a like Christmas gift?....

Nope, you need a freight company... So, that (Very costly) arraignment was made, and as far as I know, the gears are turning and the steel is in route to my workshop now.... Hopefully they are wearing out tires to get here... I earlier had mentioned a large amount of spring steel was necessary for the task completion from beginning to end... and, it weighs in at exactly 950 pounds! ...

... Again, "Holy Crap!" ... I can barely life a 20 pack of bud light? (BTW, Bud light has a very critical place in this quest!) Soooo, it's going to be mainsprings, and mainsprings, and mainsprings, for awhile....

... They didn't build Rome in a day.... And, actually, I don't think the Romans had much to do with mainsprings anyway! Best to all, til...lat'r....GT...
