Everytime I try to disassemble my magazines the button at the bottom of the magazine slips and disappears. I'm following the manual, and I even watched several youtube videos on how to take them apart but this keeps happening. This is the second time this has happened! The first time it happened I just said screw it and bought another $30 mag, I can't afford to keep buying magazines every single time they get dirty and need to be cleaned. How can I fix this? I really really really need to get this magazine fixed...pics:

Ok so take it apart?
Whats the problem? Push that up (that plate with the nub that you "lost", slide the baseplate off the front and you're done. It ain't easy to pop off, but you'll get it. Squeeze the sides of the mag at the bottom, put a punch in that hole, and push it down as hard as ya can. It will come off. According to this picture, the magazine insert is what you pushed up and out of the way. The base plate now comes off the front, but if you look at it from the top, you can see the two nubs that lock into the baseplate. Thats what you have to "overcome". |

When you push on that "button" the whole point is that it will take the insert, and shove it upwards in the front, and send it towards the top of the mag, jammed in between the mag body and the spring, otherwise you cannot squeeze in the sides of the mag body to get the floor plate off.
You did the first part right (I can see the mag spring through the hole) now just squeeze the sides of the body right by the floor plate and slide it off the front end. |

Or you could order one of these and resolve any future problems...
