i did a couple of archive searches and decided to post this question ok i inserted a corkscrew in the "pry up hole" and pulled foward and even put a knife blade in the rear of the floor plate to push it out and it didn't budge am i doing something wrong?? do i need to pry up the 4 tabs a little or something i don't want to damage the mags thanks |

What type of CP mag are you working on? I am assuming it is a 30 or 20 round mag. Please see the following link. It will talk about refinishing mags, but the first step is disassembly and that is what you are after. See Link. Click Me Click Me |
| I use a screw driver and lift the lip from the front rather then pry at the hole. (as shown in a photo in the link above) No you don't need to bent the 4 tabs, that would be bad (unless you have dropped it out course) I lift with the screwdriver and pull, and I push on the floor plate with my other thumb. Perhaps it need at tap? Possible the the paint wasn't dry whe nassembled and it's stuck? keep trying |
Whatever you do, DO NOT PRY THE FOUR TABS HOLDING THE FLOOR PLATE IN PLACE!. They are very brittle and will snap off, making your magazine worthless. |
