Erma P.08 mag's! I need some info.......

G.T. · 01-17-2003, 01:20 AM

Hi Thomas! I think that all of the current mag. manufactures are pretty much terrified of making anything close to the original spec...... cost goes way up when that last few thousands of tolerance is held! Any original P.08 (sheet metal) mag. will grow along both dimensions (W & L) if used with any regularity! They didn't have very much clearance to begin with, but they were certainly designed to drop free.... does anyone have an original "stark" (strong) marked mag.??? It would be interesting to know the sheetmetal thickness of the mag. tube... or if they preformed some type of heat treat??? till...later...GT
