Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 What is the other 2%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish jack Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 No idea. Probably a mix of tin and antimony to make it flow better when cast into shapes. That’s been the recipe for about the last 2000 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 How do you know what the percentage is? Did you have it tested by a salvage yard or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish jack Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I'm basing the value of the mixture on 2 things: I bought this from a scrapyard who had it tested and stated 98% (it was originally sailboat keel). To be accurate, I aircooled a cast bullet and tested the hardness myself, can came up with a Saeco hardness of just under 5, which is consistent with published values for 98.5% mix.
