Unusual magazine

Hello All, I think ole MauserLugers has it right. If someone has a magazine with a military wood base and a blued tube, its been messed with. In my opinion!!!!!!!!

A possibility would be that someone had a dented tube and wanted to preserve a nice wooden base. With a few tools it isn't difficult to remove a magazine bottom and replace it. The difficulty in replacing a metal bottom to a different tube is getting the holes in the tube to line up with the holes in the bottom. With wooden bottoms the alignment is more forgiving.

My 2Ã?Â¢ worth
