I could certainly do that. Do you know of any short polymers available that would be good candidates?
20 rd Pmags are easy to convert... I am using tan/coyote colored ones for the 450B and black for 5.56 for easy ID at a glance..
I used a dremal to get as much of the front ridge out from both ends - then used a small file to remove the rest of the ridge.. I used a bench grinder to remove the 'bullet outline' on the follower.. Some have used JB Weld to reshape the follower, but I just left my skeletized..
So far no issues with failure to feed or anything..
