    Your an engineering/Technology teacher and your asking us a bunch of armchair gunsmiths (except Greg of course) to make a floor plate.

    I feel like I been sharked.

    I was just out looking at my PM45 magazine. Fiddled with a couple 1911 base plates etc to see if anything was close to modifiable, alas I put it back together for more pondering and consultation.

    Greg does bring up a good point with the thought of being able to use other materials. Even wood, I can do wood but I don't think I'm going there.

    Does bring up more possibilities though. Back to the drawing board. I got one of them.

    Haha! I don't know about being sharked but I was hoping someone on here already had a "method" I could follow. I was a mechanic and a machinist for 20 years until my body said it wasn't hanging over an engine anyone so I decided to teach. To be honest I didn't even think about using my 3D printer to print base plates with and I love that idea.

    Beautiful job. Did that mod change the round count of the magazine?

    The tupperware baseplate frankly never bothered me none...................until now.

    At least Greg didn't instigate this burning desire, he's usually the one that starts me on wants and must haves.

    I guess I'll be looking into this further.

    The first go around I left the spring stock and I could get the 5th round in (very tight) but you had to work to get the clip to seat, with 4 rounds the clip seated like factory. I then cut rounds off the spring and though tight, it allows the 5th round and clip to seat like factory. I only load 4 in the clip and one in the camber when I CC.
