LaRue OBR 7.62 mag disassembly method?

[Rateoftwist]

Hey all,
I bought two LaRue mags for my LMT MWS build... on their website it mentioned their 20 round 762 magazine had a proprietary method for easy baseplate removal. However the magazines did not come with instructions and given the cost I would rather learn the correct method than jack up the mag... I sent an email to LaRue but did not hear back. Anyone know how to remove the baseplate? Thank you!!

Which generation of magazine do you have? There are two types.

That’s gen two. Small Allen screw on the front, remove that. Probably held on with loctite so you’ll have to give it half a grunt to start it. Then just slide it back slightly and it disengages from the magazine.
