DISCLAIMER!!
I am not responsible if something goes wrong and it breaks. This is a DIY tutorial and you alone is responsible for your own things.
This method is tried on JG and TM magazines.

Why should you do it?
Makes it easy to take out your magazine while wearing gloves.

Tools needed

• Screwdrivers to take apart the magazine
• Either a Dremel or regular Power drill with a 3mm drill.
• A small file
• Masking tape
• (NOT IN PICTURE) 550 Paracord, recommend 16in / 40cm
• Measurement equipment (For paracord)
• Small plier (For paracord)
• Lighter (For paracord)

Walkthrough
Take apart you magazine. Be careful not to lose any of the springs, especially the 2 small ones.

Mask the outside of the magazine.

Mark at the top of the arch. This is here you will drill.

Drill inside and outward.

Remove the masking tape. The masking tape contribute to a clean hole.

File the corners of the hole. This is done to eliminate shape edges to damage the paracord.

Run the paracord through the magazine BEFORE assembling it.

Make a Diamond knot or what knot you prefer.

Now you are done!

Hope I could help someone out. :shot:

Bobcat: The VSR MagPul was my first thought. But I believe there is some copyright to that name. ;-)

Dore: If you are referring to my other guide, I can't test my rifle without some 0.43g bb. The build is done, only fine tuning is back now. I will try to get it written before or in this coming the weekend.

Well thank you sir. But I'm merely a cheap-chair-softer that solves problems that come along. I'm just happy to help.

Tape would work, but as you said yourself, this method is neater + you don't mess with the shape of the magazine. Risking misfeeding and magazine not fitting in magwell.

My trick is to assemble the front of the magazine, with most of the spring sticking out at the back (DO NOT CLOSE IT SHUT AND BEND THE SPRING, leave a little gap open.) Then gently press the rest of the spring inside the magazine. Hope this helps.

I am just a little curious. Has anyone done this mod? Would really like to see some pictures if possible? >

Keep the information flowing. :yup:

Glad you found it helpful, and no I do not think this is stickied.

I did the total disassembly to make sure there was room and I wasn't hitting the spring. But you are right, no need to disassemble. May write that note in the original post, if I get around to it. 😃
