Mags for Colt 1911 GOVT .22 Conversion

[Chipperman]

I have a Series 70 Colt and a Colt .22 conversion kit for it. The conversion has one mag, but I would like to get a couple more.

Do all of the Colt conversions use the same mags, or do I need one specifically for the Series 70 Government conversion kit? It's got the little floating chamber the increase the perceived recoil, if that matters.

What's the best source for these mags?

Thanks.

Seems to me that all of them will work. I have a 70s era unit that came with aluminum follower and baseplate; also picked up an old Service Ace magazine years ago that works well. The aluminum follower's shelf for the slide stop wears fairly rapidly but I don't worry about that.

The CMP just released a number of these and there has been a lot of discussion about them over at www.jouster.com; do some research in the Service Pistol/1911 forum. Some of them came without mags so I know people on that site have been chasing them down somewhere.
