1911 mags, Where to buy base pads?

[Craig0ry]

I just got a bunch of 1911 single stack mags in the mail today, They are 2 different kinds. Some of the come with base pads and are pre drilled,

Is there anywhere that you can base pads with self tapping screws?

Holt crow, 10$ a pad? Anyone ever make their own? and want to share how they did it?

Edit: I guess I should read the full info first before thinking they were 10$ a pad,

There usually is a listing for them on Ebay.

I've used an old computer mouse pad, cut them to fit the base and glued them in place. Gives just enough cush to prevent the base from getting banged up when hitting the cement range floor.
Peel and stick weather stripping can also work but tends to be a bit springy and doesn't last as long but then a 5 foot roll should last you years.
