Despite the nickname, they are not true Bakelite but a glass-fiber-reinforced phenol-formaldehyde composite, molded in two halves and epoxied together with steel reinforcements at key stress points. Their distinctive marbled orange-brown or reddish hue came naturally from the manufacturing process. These magazines were designed to solve corrosion and weight issues found in steel versions, offering a lighter, rust-proof, and surprisingly durable alternative despite their reputation for brittleness.
