I am having a heck of a time with brass furniture cracking on me.
I have had to replace brass parts on both of my projects.
They seem to be the same parts and it's so annoying, not to mention exensive.
Butt plates and trigger guards.
I anneal them red hot either air cool or water cool, but when I bend them thay crack.
Wax cast, sand cast doens't seem to matter. I have bought the parts from TOW and J Garner. When I call them up, they tell me you don't have to anneal and don't bend them too much...
They look bronezy to me..
Where can I find "real brass parts"???
regards
