Magpul EMAG disassembly help

Postby EdgarAllanPro » Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:37 pm

I have absolutely NO IDEA how to get these things apart. They keep jamming on me, and I don't know how to lube them up or clean them or anything like that. There doesn't even seem to be any screws anywhere! It looks like I could pry them open, but then I risk breaking them, but at $9 a piece on Evike, I'm not too worried about that. Does anyone here know anything about this? I can't find any help online!

the button central in the baseplate is holding it in place. Pop that off to expose the screws in the bottom of the mag holding an insert with the guts in place. that will slide out the top of the mag. you should be able to remove all the screws in that to split it apart, mind the follower and spring. when reassembling the mag don't bother trying o get the spring to sit there while you try to close the mag around it. instead remove the spring guide at the end of the bb feed track, and with the two halves screwed back together feed the spring back into the mag through the spring guide hole. it'll make more sense to you once you've got it all apart.

I probably should have mentioned that it's the 75rnd mid-cap. But I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Anyways, I took the baseplates off a while ago so I could fit a magpul on it. Anyways, with the baseplate off, I don't see any screws. It's just completely sealed around, so I don't see how they even got this put together...
I don't see HOW Magpul expects you to maintain this thing :l
And I'm not sure if this helps, but this is what I see once the baseplate is removed on the bottom of the mag.

Sounds like you have the STAR Magpul licensed mags. Can you even disassemble those ones?
I do hope that after all this discreditable shuffling we may be taken into action. It has a wonderful way of reconciling a man with himself: and with everybody else, sometimes. - 1st Lt. James Dillon

I doubt it, I just got these (http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info ... s_id=34416)

It doesn't say anywhere on there that they're licenced by STAR or not. When they were shipped, they just came in some plain, clear, plastic sleeves, so I really have no idea

I found this:
http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/STAR- ... d=18487983

Compressed air may split open the Green Label Pmag but it could be dangerous with parts flying around and could take your eye out.

I have the same issues on my Green Label Pmags. If you have the 75rd Pmags I recommend filling it with at least 60 BB or less instead of maxing it out to 75. The spring inside is weak and tend to coil up and get tangled.

Good luck!
