Re: New center feed box magazine question
Are you talking about taking the bottom off the magazine itself? If so they are held in by a few indents. Aren't really made to come apart easily as there is almost no point to disasemble the magazine itself.
Or are you talking about removing the mag from the gun?

brake parts cleaner should do the job without the need for disassembly.

Re: New center feed box magazine question
I'm with you now. I would just wash it under running water, then brake cleaner to cut the water. But to take it apart, there were instructions somewhere on Savageshooters.com. Sharp Shooter Supply used to sell a replacement bottom metal part that extended the capacity to 9 rounds. With that replacement, they had instructions on how to remove the old bottom and install their newer extension. They no longer offer just the extension but sell the complete magazine. You might see if they could send you the instructions they had. It was listed in the forums but so far I haven't found it yet. Sorry.

It has pics of the mag taken apart. From looking at those pics and my mags, it looks like just a little crafty work with a couple of flat blade screw drivers and you should be able to figure it out.
Good luck.

I did mine with my hands by squeezing the sides together. I tried to put it on the bottom of my blind centerfeed. I thought they made all the parts interchangeable, but it didn't fit.

m1k3,
Thanks for the link, I see some small tabs on the inside of the plastic base but can't tell if others broke off while removing it from the metal. I hope it will come apart easily, bad design if it won't.
