Niklas,

I am glad to hear that. Wish I would have known in advance, it would has made life easier.

IF they were forging "in-house" then retooling would have been required to make the dimensional changes. An expensive proposition. However, if everything is outsourced.... I doubt any German maker was supplying them in 1943. They may have been living off of in-stock inventory.
