I strongly favor blind magazines (what you have). You can buy bottom metal at Brownells or Midway but your fixing what's not broken. i just dropped a couple grand on a custom rifle with a blind magazine.

Admittedly I adamantly refuse to acknowledge aesthetic considerations on firearms. To me they are hammers and I only care about how they swing and drive nails, pound stakes etc.
