Removing base plates on glock mags.

[hula1]

Trying to remove base plates on G17 magazines to replace with Magpul plates. They don't just slide off like other mags and looks like there are tabs to prevent it.

I guess I wasn't pushing the insert in far enough.

Thanks

I find it helps out to squeeze the sides of the mag also.

Using the punch as a lever they pop right off with the right technique.

Using a punch has yeiled the best results for me.

Place the magazine body firmly within the rubberized handle portion of your wrench and depress the magazine walls(tabs)then sliding that sucker off....;)

I practically destroyed 2 Glock mags trying to get those bases off. Now I know better.

My uncle has arthritis, he uses a gtul. I tried it, and it is not necessary but nice to have, kinda like the uplula.

Doesn't get used all that much, but it's nice to have.
