S&W 4506 magazine floorplates

[That Guy]

My girlfriend broke the floorplate of her oldest 4506 magazine at the range. A quick look at Brownells shows they have new springs and followers, but I didn't see any floorplates. Are there any places that are willing to sell outside the USA that still have those for sale?

(The bit about being willing to sell outside USA is quite important. Doesn't do me much good if they refuse to ship the darn parts to me.)

Don't know about shipping out of the US.

Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately Midway stopped selling internationally several years ago.

I think it’s awesome that your girlfriend shoots a 4506.

Well, she is a pretty awesome girl. :)

A Meg-Car polymer 1911 magazine base plate is too narrow to fit onto the magazine, but it will go there with the proper application of force. Unfortunately the Meg-Car base plate is also too tall, it prevents the magazine from fully seating. However, it does seem either modifying the Meg-Car part or using another 1911 magazine floorplate would provide a functional replacement.

Shoot me a PM. If you aren't on the dark side of the moon I may be able to send you one. I have a few.
