I have a question. What are you using these "nails" for? Are they to be used to hold in silver inlays, such as the ones
on the Mose Specht rifle I have shown. I replaced seven of the silver inlays on that rifle, and they are all held in with
steel, or iron, nails, just like the originals were done. If you look closely at the inlays on the wrist, you can see the nails.
I drill a hole, about .040 big, then take a small brad and taper it about 3/8" long. You then drive this tapered pin in until
it tightens up, cut it off, and file it flat with the inlay...no need to put a head on the nail..........Don
