Magazine i tested with , was made by Mike and is made from soft metal,
i am planing to usa 1095 spring steel and we are in the process of testing dies out, ordered a press for the stamping as a hand/vise pressing did not provided needed pressure.. Played with a 20 ton shop press at a friends garage, now waiting for 50 toner to arrive. We are working with soft dies for the first couple of bends, as soon as the mag is together, we plan to harden the A2 steel and keep on pressing. I am sure magazine will present some challenges, but i am also sure it will not be as hard and long as a frame cutting was. We already worked out spring situation for a magazine, and cutting aluminum followers now. Press delivery is slowing us down a bit.
