Let me correct you there.

Martz -- Yes, bend from one sheet and welded at the back , seen it do not like it.

Krause -- No, his mags are done from 2 sheets of steel and bent same way as originals. But made from soft steel and bent is closer to the back offsetting the spring push to the back and making the mag jam.

Our -- bend is more centered pushing the rounds nose first up the magazine tube, that will help function. And harder steel to keep lips stay in place.
But that's giving away trade secrets at this point ;0)

FYI: bend is holding the round spring in place and it's position is critical.
