--a visual check revealed that the stainless steel magazines are made of thinner metal, that even though the inside measurements may be the same the outer measurements are not, and the mag well is machined to the tight tolerance of the stainless magazine exterior.

IF the mag well on a stainless Luger were opened up to original specifications, it would appear that it would then fit and function with vintage magazines, but would no longer fit and function with the newer and thinner Stainless mags... Is that what you are saying?

I realize the opening up the mag well would not be an inexpensive operation, but it might be worth it to someone who wants his Stainless Luger to have interchangable parts with vintage Lugers...including the magazines...
