Not my finest work, But at least in my dad's new frontier polymer lower the magazine will insert lock and feed when the actions run manually.
I don't have a bolt gun to try it in but I can't imagine it wouldn't work in that as well.
Trying to bend the tabs over to make mechanical locks ended up just breaking them off, so I ended up tacking the floor plate onto the magazine body.... Number one I'm not a very good welder, number two I didn't notice that the welder was set for maximum (And it's a very dumb welder It's Men Max nothing else) And this is also a stainless steel magazine.
Honestly after I broke the tabs off I got frustrated with the project.
If Im doing this again....ok when I do this again, I'll maintain the taper at the back of the magazine that the 10 rounder had and I'll shorten the follower by about half as well as shorten the magspring.
As it sits there the magazine only holds three rounds but it should have space for something like five or six except. All the internal parts are still full-length.
I'll also heat the tabs before bending them over and probably shorten the overall height of the magazine another half inch.
