Midway had them , you may need to play with the feed lips .
Can you just block an original with wood and cross pin it ?

Made one once many years ago.
Just cut the mag flush with the stock/bottom metal
and attached a heavy piece of brass 1/4"? to finish it off.
Dont recall how , either pinned it or soldered on.

Take the follower and spring out of the magazine and place a piece of wood down in the magazine to take up the space then replace the follower and spring.
