Yeah, I go through some files. And hacksaw blades. And drill bits. The slot that the mainspring fits in was actually a series of 1/16 holes, some brute force to get a needle file in it, as well as a hacksaw blade that I ground down the backside of to make its depth short enough it get into the drilled holes, then a lot of elbow grease to slot it the rest of the way.Are you making parts by filing. Just curious been a toolmaker for 35 years most people don't know what goes into producing metal products or parts. Good job.

Thank for your input.All the ones I've seen.
Whether its a threaded stud to fit through a receiver plate, or a threaded tang.
Age, fit and maintenance may make it a pain to remove, but they are all typically designed that way.
Jim, I call it "The UnderHammer of Jethro". Or Jethro for short.Does it have a name? I named a few of mine, though most I use the Make, model, or caliber to identify it. Seems to me it ought to have a proper name since you created it. Maybe that's just me.... Pretty work no matter what you call it.
