Now Im not trying to do this as a money maker, just that no one makes the tubes, contrictions, styles that I want for my 28 and 410. So Im lloking at building some and starting the learning process. Right now I have the means to do and learn and study the actual cutting and internals of the chokes, and the material of choice... the one thing I lack, is any knowledge or anyone to ask about the hardness and hardening.
From what Ive seen, 17-4 Stainless is the animal of choice for tubes, and its a "precipitation hardening" material... which I dont really understand. I dont have a furnace, but I know someone that does, but they dont know much about hardening. Can anyone shed some light on how hard chokes need to be, and maybe a little on the process involved with dealing with 17-4 ss?
Thanks a ton.
