Hi to all, well, my latest project is to make a spring that keeps the artillery rear sight from bumping up each time you fire the gun!!!!! All my ideas have so far been dismal failures!!!

BUT! I'm still hot on the trail, but have run into a snag that maybe one of the forum mebers can help me out with?
I need to have some strips of spring steel cut that are a certain thickness (.033") and a certain width (.189") length yet to be determined, but approx. 2.00" I have a jewelers bench shear, but it won't handle that thickness.
Have any of you the equipment to make this so? I would appreciate the effort greatly.
Let me know at: gctomeks@msn.com Thanks to all, til.....lat'r....GT
