What are differences in 1904 Portuguese vergueiro and 1909 Argentine bottom metals? Thanks Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | ||

The 1904 has locking screws in addition to the action screws, and the floor plate release has a hump, more a commercial model.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

Are the mag box dimensions identical? Matt FISH!!

Matt, I believe that the box dimensions are the same. I have both and measured them with a dial caliper, and mine are within .005" of each other in length, width & depth. That said, my 1904 TG has had the locking screw recesses welded up, so it may have been modified in other ways, although I do not see any evidence of that. However the 1909 floorplate is deeper and more rounded in cross section than the 1904 FP, allowing the magazine spring to sit a bit lower than it does in the 1904 FP, which may result in a bit more usable magazine depth for the 1909. And the locking surface of a 1904 latch would have to be shortened to work with a 1909 floorplate. | |||
