    risdon mfg WWII 45cal mag question

    Are these mags originally blued or parked? If blued, were they ever parked during rebuild or discarded?
    Thanks, Bob

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    The magazines were originally blued, but those that went through rebuild that were serviceable were sandblasted and given a phosphate finish.

    Somewhere around I have a phosphate finish magazine in the wrap. It went through rebuild, was wrapped, and sent back out as a replacement magazine.
