The magazine confuses me big time. May I assume a "correct" (even mismatched) magazine for DWM should always have a wood bottom? I looked over all DWMs listed in Simpson, all of them have wood bottom except a reworked police 1920 (http://www.simpsonltd.com/product_in...oducts_id=4138). Looks like magazines for early guns were nickle plated, and were zinc plated for later ones. Currently, my rule of thumb is "avoiding non-wood magazine on DWM, and wood magazine on Mauser".... not sure that's correct or not.

Could you help to locate a magazine tutorial? Thanks.

Or compose one, if possible.
