Stainless Steel Mec-Gar Magazines

Luke · 03-14-2006, 05:11 PM

About two years ago I saw two "stainless steel" Mec-Gar magazines offered at a price of $30 each. I contacted the seller who assured me they were not chrome plated steel, but were actually stainless. I bought both of them. These were the older type Mec-Gar without the name impressed in the metal like the newer versions. Mechanical construction is identical to all Mec-Gar magazines I have seen.

They do, in fact, appear to be stainless.

Has anyone else come across this type?

Anyone know how to (non-destructively) test the metal to determine if it is stainless?
