Mec-Gar measurements

In my Finnish Luger with 120mm barrel I have found that the Triple-K stainless with black plastic bottoms are most reliable. I have tried the fxo type, MecGar, and original Imperial mags in this gun. This brand (Triple-K) is conceptually well designed, but poorly implemented, and they just look cheap. Nevertheless, in this particular Luger, I have never experienced a cycle failure with the two Triple-Ks that I have.

I have two black-plastic-bottom fxo extruded mags. The bottoms have been seriously chipped . . . probably made of a Bakelite-type material . . . and are ugly. Having seen quite a few other fxo mags with chipped bottoms, I suspect this is a common problem. Has anyone ever tried replacing these chipped bottoms with nice looking aluminum or wood bottoms? Success? Folly?
