Any issue with the known thickness increase inherant w/powdercoat?
If you've got a mag toward the upper side of spec width and a magwell toward the bottom side, (or even just a thickly finished lower), even just a few thousandths of overcoating will cause problems like tough insertion and no drop free.
That's the primary reason most restorers don't/won't powdercoat actually.
Well, that and its a SOB to get off there if you do end up a victim of the above issues and need to strip it off.
Not a super big deal in most states if it does end up too thick as they can just be tossed in the trash and replaced with new, but folks in the limited~to~preban~normal~capacity~mags can find that little adventure more than just a bit cost prohibitive.
