The follower will fit into the top coil of the spring at about a 45 degree angle. The notched end of the follower will be toward the top. 2 Insert the spring assembly (with the follower attached) into the magazine body. Make sure that the notched (or upper) part of the follower is facing toward the front of the magazine. Leave the spring hanging out, uncompressed at this time. 3 Make sure the buttplate retainer is attached to the magazine spring. Insert the end of the spring through the keeper on the buttplate retainer: round edge to the front, release "button" downward. 4 Push the spring and retainer the rest of the way into the magazine body. Be very careful. The spring is under tension and will tend to spring out. 5 Hold the retainer down, inside the magazine with one hand while you slide the buttplate onto the rails - starting the buttplate at the front of the magazine body and sliding it rearward - until the buttplate retainer snaps into position. The shape of the buttplate corresponds to the shape of the buttplate retainer and the overall shape of the bottom of the magazine body - rounded edges all to the front, flat edges all to the rear. 6 The magazine is now ready for use. 24
