I would love to see an example of such a 'casting void'.

The challenge was to create a version of the Parabellum pistol at an affordable price. This was only possible by changing a number of production steps, eliminating those that had no particular advantage and doing away with the hand fitting of parts before blueing.

By taking these steps Mauser was able to do in the 1970s whas neither Loewe, DWM nor Bern ever accomplished.

DWM's successor IWK made the toggle parts. The pistol utilized design changes from Bern. August Weiss provided his input, Ludwig Vorgrimler was responsible for the R&D work and the spring setup was designed by one of the best spring engineers in Germany.

Is your Sports version for sale yet, or are you going to hang on to that piece of worthless engineering?
