Purely cost. Like a lot of designs at the time and from the area, there's a lot of fine work that can't easily be done by CNC now or low-paid (then: interned) labor ever. Even if someone felt like doing it, it's got a short barrel for its size.
Of course now that you guys mention it, if I could have found the magazines easily enough, and an appropriate material that doesn't need further heat treating--and more than ten minutes spare time at a stretch--I would be seriously tempted to find some blueprints and fire up the mill in the garage.
