So would it be best to leave the bottom as-is for or replace it with a quality reproduction? It is pinned in place and very sturdy, although you can only load seven rounds with difficulty.
Sorry GT, I'm keeping this one as it came with my Vickers... but thanks for the offer!
It really is not as bad as it looks in the photos, just some wear in the plating near the bottom that is dark now, but no rust at all.
