Had a great conversation today with a gentleman concerning pressings and the steel used for pressing. After chatting with him I realize just how much I do not know. All I have to say is THANKS.

Not all of it by me. There are a great number of people working toward making the final project.

Thinking something not needing post machining heat treat would be most desirable.
The original ones I have Rockwelled punch in the low 20’s. Softer than one would think!

They only cost about $2.00 more to make than a MP-40. The MP-40 $24.00, the MP-43 $26.00. A 98K cost $28.00 and a M1 Garand cost $83.00.

Being that some trunnions are that soft excessive headspace would develop before to long right? or is the 7.92×33 to mild a cartridge for that?
