Remove the base plate, then separate the spring from the follower. Clean out the mag body with an old baby-bottle brush using hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the spring with a light coating of CLP, then re-assemble.
Be sure that you do not over-lube the mag spring, or lube the walls of the mag body: oils can penetrate a cartridge's primer and cause it to fail, giving you a mag full of FTFs. |

Good advice from El Roto.
I have to do that often after coming back from a day at the range. My mags get caked with fine dust. |

Slip a small flat tip screwdriver under the back of the plate. GENTLY pry up and back and the plate will slide off. |
