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.
