Hi Don, I will certainly read the process as described?... But, the chatter I have observed is on the magazine sides, not the rear spine?... I think late in the war, one or both processes were used in conjunction with each other... because, the long fxo magazine tubes that are for 15 or 16 rounds are long and straight and it would be almost impossible to die form this length consistently?... But, I will study harder and see what is documented and also what others might think about the processes outlined above... to be truthful, it is really hard to tell by inspecting the mags themselves??... Ahhh! another challenge.... best to all, til...lat'r....GT....
