Mr. Kim,
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva"> Which would be the most correct magazine type for my "G" date? what type bottom piece would it have? Rolled or extruded, blued or nickel? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">* An
Army "G" date will have a rolled & crimped, tin colored, Sheet metal tube with an Alum. side pinned base plug.
* The matching mag will bear the pistol's serial number, complete with the suffix letter, on the base plug. Also, a "+" symbol
may appear on the base if the mag is the reserve numbered mag. to the pistol. Finally, one Army Waffen Inspector's Acceptance Stamp will appear on the base plug.
* As you can see from Frank's "G" date acceptance stamp study, posted here on the Forum, a wide range of WaA stamp numbers could appear.
* Usually (I say with a degree of trepedation as a very general rule <img border="0" alt="[icon501]" title="" src="graemlins/icon501.gif" /> ) the mag's WaA will be one of the same stamps which appear on the right receiver of the pistol.
* A Police or Navy Variation is a different story.
* Trust this responds to your query
.
