Thread: How long to peen on new scales?

It takes much less time than 3 hrs but a bit longer than the vids for the first time at it. Common mistake is to leave the pin too long which results in not being able to tighten it up enough and/or a bent pin. Ask me how I know. It takes surprising little of the pin protruding to peen it well.

If you are using anything other than brass or nickel silver rod stock it could also make it difficult/impossible to peen it enough too.
