I recently picked up a late 1960's made Colt Woodsman but as they were made past "C&R" status date figured I'd post here. The gun came with no magazine. Triple K (
) magazines go anywhere from $36.00 to $50.00 a pop. Paying on the low end wouldn't be so bad, but Triple K quality is lousy - I think they exist to make ProMag look good. So looking around for a deal I found that Beretta NEOS magazines fit perfect with a slight modification to the plastic floorplate or replacing with a Woodsman metal type.
Attached is a link to the Colt Forum - link to Numrich for the floorplates.
If one prefers to just modify the Beretta floorplate all that's needed is dressing it down so the mag catch will close, and building up the front so the mag doesn't seat too deep.
The NEOS magazines are head and shoulders above Triple K and total cost (with new floorplate) runs about $28.00. Modifying the Beretta floorplate means the only cost is the mag, which is generally about $19.00.
