I think for third world manufacturer (is Mexico 3rd world???) the quality is actually very good, considering they use mostly what would be late 1800's/early 1900's machinery common to USA in that period...
I have tried/made magazines/sheet metal receivers in far past and it is hard to do with only home shop materials & tools. Now I modify similar magazines rather than make from scratch. Best way is for many friends with divergent talents and different tools/material to pool resources and copy existing parts. Always good idea to copy good existing part. (And not copy a copy). ![]() Here is success story of small group of entrepreneurs who have risen to larger successful company in short time [pic below]. As to country of origin of this magazine...Spanish have history of copying all European designs, especially Basque region. Some are/were large companies; some small home workshops. Many different manufacturing techniques, diversity of quality. I personally would have no qualms displaying the discussed magazine with my 1900 Luger, without assigning it any particular designation. As has been said many times before, it is what it is. Enjoy it for itself. Especially if it works! ![]()
