I still think that these may have been the best and most consistent Luger magazines. It's surprising that the technique hasn't been more widely used. Of course, stamped steel is cheaper to produce.

I agree completely. I have 2 of these and they perform as well on the range as my 2 Mec-Gars. Used them with my 1938 S/42 and my 1906 AE.
