Question???

[G.T.]

Hi Bill, I have seen several original Simson E/6 accepted alum. mag. bottoms and for the most part,they were crudely machined bottoms. The tooling that made them was evidently dull and not lubricated, as tool marks and tearing is evident if you look close, they were sanded or polished a little on the concave ends, but not much of an attempt at quality contol is evident.... I have seen later cast bottoms identical to Mauser, with an s in a circle mark on them, I would assume they acquired these as they became available and existing stocks of wood and machined aluminum ones dried up! Perhaps some of our collector members might be able to enlighten us further.....till...later...G.T.
