Muncy Machine and Upson-Walton

Muncy™ Ball Shanks


Muncy’s Ball Shanks are made from a grade of carbon steel specially for swaging. Our steel is also domestic, Made in USA. Our ball shank terminations are swaged on the shank, not on the ball, making it easier to swage and unnecessary for a special pocket die.

  • *NO SPECIAL POCKET DIES NEEDED*
  • Ball Shanks are swaged on their own shank only.
  • Alloy and Stainless Steel available upon request
