Do you have to anneal the keys to keep them from breaking?

Holy cow! That is some really, really cool rings you've made. Simply amazing in my book! How can one purchase any of these from you? Or possibly order a custom ring made with our finds?

I am usually too busy at this time of year. I have done some special orders in the winter time, when time is on my side.

I would like to get a 6.5 rem mag ring, the bolt face is the same as other belted magnum rifles, is there enough metal there to make one?
