Default last little thing?.....Mec-Gar mag bottoms

Hi To all! A lot of my previous work both with mag upgrade and development, plus barrel work and just basic performance issues, has involved Mec-Gar magazines... Both Blue and Nickel. The latest MG mags leave little room for improvement, and actually, they have addressed problems a normal Luger shooter would NEVER see in a lifetime of shooting!....... I am impressed both with their product, and even though it took some time, their effort to correct issues that occurred from time to time....
But, all that having been said, one thing they still are missing is the funky black plastic Navy concentric ring bottom design! ... Well, today I decided to see if that was correctible, and the good news is yes! A 3/4" ball end mill effectively removes all the rings and provides a much better concave recess to properly grasp the bottom piece... It's not all that much better looking, but it does look better???... I will trade you one of mine for one of yours for $10.00 and/or, sell you one for a broken mag bottom replacement for $15.00 ... I have a few, and will be generating more as time goes by...... Best to all, til....lat'r....GT....

BTW, only applies to the Nylon filled (dull not shiny) new bottom pieces... the shiny ones will break soon if not already broken...
