Hello, looking for some help, if anyone has tried any of this...

I am incredibly frustrated with FN on the new 5 7 mk3. They made the magazines different (for no real reason but that they could) and the only difference is the floorplate.

Has anyone done the work to understand how to modify earlier magazine floorplates to fit the mk3 or does anyone know of a source for mk3 floorplates (as FN says they don't have a SKU for that, it's a single unit)

FN used to be a favorite manufacturer of mine, but they are working real hard to lose my business. I'd appreciate any help you could offer.
