David,

One thing. The Haenel Schmeisser magazines (whether FXO or 2/1001 DDR era) were not extruded. They were formed and welded steel that was subsequently precision machined into their shape.

I still think that these may have been the best and most consistent Luger magazines. It's surprising that the technique hasn't been more widely used. Of course, stamped steel is cheaper to produce.
