Haenel Magazine 16/20 round

[DonVoigt]

GT,
Better to read the description of the process. I would copy it, but the CD is copy/image protected and I respect the author's work and desire to keep copying to a minimum. A set of CD's is only $30 or so from Simpsons, and well worth it for +/- 1800 beautiful pages !

If you are referring to a "wash board" effect on the rear of the magazine, it is apparently from the welding process - sometimes it is a clear "design" for lack of a better description.

[G.T.]

Hi Don, I will certainly read the process as described?... But, the chatter I have observed is on the magazine sides, not the rear spine?... I think late in the war, one or both processes were used in conjunction with each other... because, the long fxo magazine tubes that are for 15 or 16 rounds are long and straight and it would be almost impossible to die form this length consistently?... But, I will study harder and see what is documented and also what others might think about the processes outlined above... to be truthful, it is really hard to tell by inspecting the mags themselves??... Ahhh! another challenge.... best to all, til...lat'r....GT....

In the Green book pp 1487 to 1499.
"Haenel-Schmeisser Magazines Not "Extruded"
The extended magazine in question is shown on p 1499 with a patent drawing.

Is the 'Green book' the one that was objected to by the authors for extensive 'editing' and replaced with the 'Red book'??? I have the Red book DVD and could not find your quoted text or the patent drawing of the extended magazine.

There is extensive discussion of the Haenel-Schmeisser magazines on pgs 1298-1313 of the DVD but no extended pics/patent drawing. Perhaps left out of 'new' edition???

There is a description of how the H-S mags were folded & welded/ground.
