The metal used in firearms

I have been working on a post concerning the different types of metals used in weapons manufacturing. The start was when we did the post concerning the different types of brass and bronze used to make different parts of older weapons. I still have not completed the write up and have an interview with a metallurgist in the near future. However one of the sites that I visit very often has a good write up concerning the metals used in firearms. If you have not been to http://firearmshistory.blogspot.com/ you should go.

This are the three posts he has done and I found them very interesting.
