Re: Where the hell can I get a spring steel shaft that fits american mechs

You may be softening the metal and weakening it further during your straightening out process.

Then the next time it is stressed it bends easier than before at the same place.

A new heat treat may be required to return it to its original condition.

The heat treating method is probably newer than the thread thanks for posting

Mako gets a lot of credit for being a class act, but you just took discretion to a whole new level by not pushing product you quite likely have, and could definitely make.

No WSB is going to bend your 11/32 shaft unless you shoot that 100lber that Bill missed and it takes you in a cave.
