.45, 10mm Magazine floor plate catch assy

[Fishslayer]

Been looking for these for a looong time. Just bought a 1076 & was able to find everything to build mags from scratch but the floor plate catch.

I also have a few 457 mags that were assembled with what appear to be plastic CS40 catch plates. They "work" but have some slop. These fit perfectly!

Finally found a source, albeit at $10 a pop. It's an Ebay shop so not sure if I can post a link. If you need 'em send me a PM & I'll give ya the link.

While they fit perfectly in my .45 magazines I found they work a lot better in the 10mm magazines if I shave a bit of metal off both edges. 5 minutes apiece on my fine grit bench grinder & voila'! New 1006 magazines. The extra power Wolff springs only let me fit 8 rounds though.

Naturally, soon after ordering my plates at $10 a pop I get an email from Numrich that they're back in stock.

The 5 parts to build a mag totals to $57.40,not too bad a cost. Don't know what shipping would be.

Midway still gets the actual 10mm catch plates in stock occasionally.

I ordered 5 of them and some other items to get free shipping for over $75. Couldn't afford to get all the parts necessary to assemble mags, but at least I'll have the plates.

Yeah, but you need to be right at your computer with finger on send as soon as you get notification, they go fast.

I just ordered 4 mag bodies from Numrich as well as the base pads.

I waited until I had a confirmation that the order had shipped before I said anything. I almost expected them to change to "back ordered" after I placed the order. They literally go like the proverbial hot cakes when they do come up.
