Thanks

Maybe the HK magazines. I believe those are steel. Quite expensive if you can find them too.

There are steel magazines so I imagine you can weld them. Here's some stainless ones for $12.99 https://gunmagwarehouse.com/asc-223-5-5 ... azine.html

As mentioned there are steel mags, however even aluminum mags can be welded with the appropriate technique.

What are you trying to accomplish?

there are plenty of steel ones around... elander might be only current production that is less than $20, but if you walk a gun show could probably find some steel ones cheap, many aren't worth a crap.

If you are looking for a way to hold your rifle in place while you clean it or work on it, consider this:

I've got the Magpul one that locks into the barrels lugs. Very handy.

You can weld just about anything.
