·My Finnish contract luger came with a nickel colored (as opposed to blued) magazine with a wooden base. Being like most Finns, it's a mismatched mag. The body of the mag locks up tight into the magwell, no problem, but the wooden base seems to have a little play to it. I can fully load the mag and everything works no problem, but the wooden base can be worked to pivot slightly up and down at one end of the mag, maybe as much as 2 or 3 milimeters.
It doesn't seem to affect function at all, but it doesn't look as nice as it could, since when the mag is in place, the wood base always looks like it's not tight up onto the gun's frame - the end effect being the mag almost looks like it's not locked up properly even though it is.
Is this a normal occurence with the wood based mags, and if not, is there a way to snug it up better?
Or should I just retire this mag to display purposes and get a cheap modern mag for actual use?
