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.
GTUL: Greatest thing since sliced bread.
Doesn’t get used all that much, but it’s nice to have.
