i keep melting my spurgear not stripping it but actually melting some of it. I think i might have a harder time melting a steel spurgear. my mt2 and savage are out of commission till i get money for the repairs and upgrades the only working one is the mini-lst but that dosent see mud. the rain so far has been bad for me working outside at job sites and just mud all around the new houses so i got home today with a bout 6 inches of mud on my feet. i screwed up my etnies i never figured it was gonna be that bad. The highlight of my day was passing by the Delorean (back to the Future car) factory near Bush Int.[sm=omg_smile.gif][sm=drowning.gif]
If you are melting you spur good chance the clutch is slipping so bad it is heating up the CB, which in turn melts the spur. I have run the same plastic spur in my Savage for well over 7 gallons with out a problem and 8 plus gallons in my MT. The only spur I ever had a problem with is the first one on my Savage do to the stock clutch slipping so bad on break in. Replaced it with good clutch shoes and have no had any more problems. If you are melting spurs and replace with a metal you are not fixing the problem just covering it up.
Good Luck
