It is not well known that the H&K factory has an H&K 416 Magazine “Operator Instructions” available.
Users of the H&K 416 should note that this magazine does have specific disassembly, cleaning - lubrication, reassembly, and user requirements. These H&K 416 Magazine “Operator Instructions” also warn against magazine abuse that could cause weapon malfunctions or stoppages.
Given the brewing controversy over the H&K 416 Magazines, if you have and use the H&K 416 Magazines these “Operator Instructions” are a must read.
