I suppose this has been discussed before, but I was probably too busy learning the other basics of the AR15 to notice... how, and how often, do you need to disassemble and clean the magazines? I tried to disassemble one of my mags for the first time yesterday and I couldn't get it apart. I pryed off the floorplate and pulled the spring down, but I couldn't get the green anti-tilt follower out of the magazine body. Is there a link with photos around here somewhere? Also, how much lube, .... what kind of lube inside the body? Thanks in advance, Jerry |

No problem.
It’s one of those things that’s hard to explain. It’s basically just a matter of tilting the follower in different directions until it can be worked out of the mag body. |
