I've got two springs of 5160 with 1 and 3/4" coils.

They are brand new.

They're BIG.

Imagine what you could get out of 1 3/4" round when forged to the dimension of your choosing. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Calculator says these weigh 300 pounds each.

Lots of steel these days goes for 3-4-5 dollars a pound.

I'll sell these BOTH for 2 bucks a pound.

I know where they came from. I know who made them.

They were off spec for their designed application and were scrapped. (They were actually designed for the springs in the bottom of hydraulic cylinders!)

I will only list these for a few weeks.

Then, I'm going to do something else with them.

(That picture was taken about 8 years ago. The springs are a little rusty now. I'm heavier - the springs are not.)
