You've about got it covered!.........
Hello mm & fgr! That's a pretty good discreption of what we know about fxo mag's so far....one of the features of the Haenel type mag. (maybe the most important) is it's robust feed lips that are formed at the top. They are many times stronger then the sheetmetal mags in this area. Most all sheetmetal mag's show deformation or spreading in this area, as cartridge and spring pressure combine to hammer the lips straight! The Haenel type mag's retain their shape well through this abuse, although, thru extreme use or abuse the Haenel type will crack or fail on the rear spine at the feed lip area, and it to will become useless....it should be the first place you look when you are buying one of these mag's, as some attempt to weld and repair this failure with minimum success! Use the search feature to look for more info. use both Haenel (correct spelling) and Haneal (I've spelled it this way also!) to bring up the threads.....Till....later.....G.T.
