I recently bought one of the new MecGars - it works flawlessly!

 I think what we want pics of is Gerry's dished Mec-Gar Nylon mag bottoms. I'm just curious as to whether the ball end mill leaves a shiny finish against the dull charcoal finish of the OEM bottom...  Well, I thought that while we're waiting for Gerry to return, I'd experiment... First pic is of a shiny plastic (not Nylon) Mec-Gar mag base clamped between two pieces of plywood...I have a quick & dirty jig for holding Luger aluminum magazine bottoms (shown on top of vise) but the Mec-Gar is a bit larger, so I just clamped it...It's junk, after all...  Second pic is after the 5/8" ball end mill dishes out the knob. Not a high-gloss shine, more dull...It could be buffed with a rounded mandrel & wet-or-dry sandpaper, but again, OEM plastic - who cares... So, it looks like Gerry's dishing magazine knobs would be an interesting & maybe worthwhile modification. Especially if you had several mags. They could even be dished without removal.  (I'll delete this stuff when Gerry returns and posts pics of his work).
