I melted down some thermoplastic pellets I got from Princess Auto and poured that into the rear of the mag to from a block.
Then cut away the offending piece and also cut back the center tab in the lower cap.
The spring needs to be epoxied to the lower cap as far back as possible or else your ammo will sit so 'nose high' that the bolt won't pick it up.
Grind down the new block evenly to suit the required OAL.
I lengthened the follower with a piece of spring steel bent up and fit under the follower spring.
I've never had any issues with loading all 6 rounds and feeding is flawless. I was little scary chopping up a $100 mag but works like a charm.
