I don't know if any are out there or not, haven't really looked. I personally don't think I would purchase one though becasue of the large locking block that's spot welded to the back of the body. That little part is highly essential, if it doesn't stay true then the mag will ride lower within the receiver and not let the bolt pick up rounds. Now, I don't recall where I read it, but I do know that a large batch of imported Asian magazines were looked down upon quite bad because they have/had stamped puckers protruding from the body where the blocks should have been attached by spot welds. Apparently, these did not sit well with U.S. shooters.
