I find that narrow gas cylinders without the saw cut are alittle more desireable than with the cut. To the guys that are looking for the cut cylinders the straight cut are more sought after as the diagonal cut are more prone to breaking as there is less metal on one side of the base
How much are they worth??? Who knows parts prices took a dive years ago

No weld.I've handled many,but never seen a tack welded one,just heard of it.Maybe someone did some,thinking they might split?

I used to have the dates that the saw cuts were used-both diagonal and straight. Of course in my half a terrabyte of guns stuff on my computer that I've been meaning to organize i can't find it. I do believe the tack welds were used during post war rebuilds. I guess if you were trying to build a period correct rebuild the saw cut would be a nice edition. Also for tightening up a gas cylinder for accuracy. You do have to grease the allen bolt and use a big allen key though.
When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.
