As Jerry said, a fairly "easy" mod; instead of a block, I would extend the arm to limit the space for the rounds. Add a curved section to the "pusher" area.

Then the Arm would lock into the original location of the button latch.

Number of rounds markings would be incorrect, though they could be "fixed" with some more effort.

Default correct! add a spacer

Don is correct, I believe all you would have to do is add a curved spacer that is welded to the internal swing arm of the correct dimensions to take up the 12 rounds not needed... One might need to also fashion a stop tab on the extended arm to combat over rotation of the spacer addition?... Basically an L shaped pad on the end.... ...GT
