MP40 Mag Catch "fix" (New Catch)

There was a thread on this forum a while ago about problems with the AGM MP40's mag catch not gripping properly. At the time, I had a quick look at the problem and saw that there was only a small amount of protrusion of the catch pawl into the mag well, and that this could be causing the problem some people are having. While looking for a solution, I had the catch out, and thought it might be possible to make a whole new catch, but with a deeper pawl. Well, it is:-- attachment is not available -- Further examination showed that the length of the pin determines how far the release button is pushed out, and hence how far it can move. Increasing the pawl depth might adversely affect the release. So when I added 1mm to the pawl depth, I added 1 mm to the pin length too:-- attachment is not available -- It's a direct replacement for the existing catch.-- attachment is not available -- It sticks out a bit more either side than the original, but it's not really noticeable. I made 2 (in aluminium) and I don't have the problem with my MP40 yet...
