filed off hold-open

Chapter 8 (page 113) of the 5th printing of Datigs book: "For some reason the Germany Army did not favor the hold open device, and it, too, was deleted, though not for long." No, the magazine is not worn. The hold-open has clearly had approximately 1/16" filed off of it where it contacts the magazine. And I agree, why not just remove it? At any rate, it was not discarded, but filed.
