This stiffens the spring up considerably and the shorter lever improves this as well. I have hunted and competed with a couple of minis I have done this to for years and never had a mag drop out. The VTP shields are a cool idea, but the spring is still too soft and its pretty easy to shorten the plastic lever with a knife and some sandpaper.
Other than the mags sticking out a ways, I think they are good. I have put several thousand rounds of 223 through a couple of mags and never had a single problem with them
