Hey Guys
I've been using the .040" 410 stainless sheet that TKS and Koval both carry for liners so far, and it works fine but its a little on the thin side for some of the ideas I've had. I was hoping to find some 420 since that seems to be what most folks use for steel liners, unfortunately admiral's online store is down, so I can't even check to see what they have to offer (and I have a feeling I don't want to buy as much as they would sell in a lot)
TKS carries 416 in a size that would work for making framelocks with, and I was thinking that if 410 had enough spring for liners, then 416 should have enough too shouldn't it?
I know I should get with it and start using Titanium like everybody, but I've been pretty happy with how easy the stainless is to work with (I'm cutting everything out with a hacksaw)
Thanks
