Magazine reassembly tip

Post by NotUndeadYet on Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:02 am

I've discovered that the worst thing about uspsa is cleaning my magazines. I'm in production class, and most of my mags are Pro Mags with a plastic floor plate. Disassembly is simple enough, use a punch to depress the button to let the bottom slide off. Putting them back together is what was annoying me, getting the button fiddled around to pop back into the hole. I've been using a 1/16th punch for this, to drag the button into position. Yesterday, it occurred to me this would be so much easier is there was something for the punch to grab, so I drilled a small detent in the button. Works great, and I don't see that it will cause any problems.

Looks like a pretty effective fix. "necessity is the mother of invention"
