Hello!
I use airguns exclusively (Cyrano) . Stock shaft is a rusting crap and a slide ring is an insult to sanity. So it is either to buy pre-made from Ray Odor or Scubastore or to make my own. Unfortunately pre-made ones for Cyrano (while tempered) are only 7mm (9/32") and without a front thread for a changeable tip. I use homemade 8mm (5/16") shafts made of 17-4 (630) stainless steel. I make everything myself (have an access to a mini-lathe) but tempering is a problem. I know all required info about a temperature regiment for a so-called H900 spring condition that most shops use, but I do not have an access to an oven. So my question is, has anybody tempered their own shafts, made an oven or knows somebody who offers this service. Also is H900 the best temper for hitting rocks, etc.
Thanks in advance
