hex head mag catch lock

joedel · 01-10-2006, 02:01 PM

Two years ago I installed a Hex Head Magazine Catch Lock made by Ed Brown on my Colt. I just bought a second Colt and would like to use this same part but it seems Ed Brown stopped making these (I called and verified this) so does anyone know of another outfit making these?

Thanks for any help on this.

Well, that was the first place I looked (after Ed Brown's web site) and they only list the Ed Brown versions as "Dropped by Factory".

If you can find a Hex Head Magazine Catch Lock at Brownell's web site, your a better searcher than me.

Dang! I haven't needed one in a little while, that sucks if they are gone.

Yeah I was pretty surprised to see that Ed Brown had discontinued those. I assumed they would become extremely popular the way hex grips screws did.

I guess no one else ever made them but Brwon.
