Initial thoughts on these would be to make them a replacement or "upgrade" kit for any existing TM/1911 mag, where the customer would have to use the feed lips, valves, spring, and follower from an original 1911 mag.

That would drastically cut the cost, and still give people the look they are going for.
While I understand that to be a selling point for your kit, the price point for the user is still high as they would need the technical capability, resources to swap the mag internals, and a TM donor mag.

If you could include the parts with the kit (ordered in bulk from Japan), it would save the user money down the line.

Just bouncing the ideas.
