The link to That Other Luger Forum states the die found/noticed in Ohio was a "roll die"...I have no experience with roll dies...Does anyone know how such a setup works??? I'm speaking of a real production roll die procedure, not a basement fabrication...

In the past, I've bought S&W 659 slide sections with misplaced stamps on the sides...So I would guess that there is some kind of conveyor that transports the part under the roll die...But how is the pressure (many tons, I'm sure) applied??? How do you keep the part from being crushed???
