Yeah, just buy a tailhook mod1c, a strongarm brace, or midwest ind. hook thingy and call it good. All relatively the same cost and in good standing as a brace.
We made different height mag releases to lock the mag up in the right spot for it to feed nicely. Some need more or less. Mine needed +.25. That, in conjunction with the location of the mag, allowed the timing to work properly without a feed ramp.
Also its like a few hours and barely any material, just print another mag lol
