I bought me an Ed Brown mag well/mainspring housing. Installed easy enough. Problem is ALL my mags have plastic floor plates and won't go in far enough for the mag catch to take hold.

What are my options?

I have three chip mcormic 10 rnd mags that I would like to keep using. Am I SOL?

Thanks -bvr
 
goto www.edbrown.com look at their mag pads, they look just like a Cmc mag pad so your 7or8 round mags with CMC pads should fit , they may need a little trimming if they are not on square. As for your CMC 10 rounders they should be sticking way out the bottom. If you still have problems with the mags check out Ed Browns faq section or email the company an ask what to do. Also go to www.blindhogg.com/gunsmith/magwell.html and see how some magwells are installed to give optimum performance, it sometimes is not just a drop in project.
 
Trim the plastic. That plastic is actually there to prevent overinsertion when loading from slide lock.
