Just finished making an extended base pad for my Ruger MKIII 22/45 magazine. Give me your impression.

I like it. How difficult was it to make?

Not hard first you have to make the model then the mold and next is the casting process. Takes about two days for the inital set-up after that about one cast an hour unless you have more molds. Cost $28.00 dollars for the mold rubber, $28.00 for the casting resine.

Have modified my base pad design so pads are not loose, drop free if trying to do a speed reload, won't over seat if slamming the magazine during a speed reload. Plastic injecting the pads from polypropylene. Have a variety of colors black, blue, red, pink, dark green, marbleized colors also.

Something similar on eBay: Ruger-22-45-Magazine-extension-bumper-Adds-one-round-to-factory-magazines for $9.99 plus $2 shipping.

It is neat to roll your own though!!

I also saw some funky colored versions somewhere on line, but don't remember where.
