DWM vs. Mauser

If you have ever tried to file, drill, or grind on Luger toggles, you will quickly realize that those of Mauser manufacture are much harder than the DWM & Erfurt ones.

Dear Hugh:

Is harder necessarily better for gun metal? A soft center with proper heat treatment would seem a better way to go to me.

I had a 1936 Mauser rifle, years ago, that was extremely hard. It was so hard the the Smith had a hell of a time drilling it for a scope.
