DIY: M&P15-22 Magazine mod.

[secret.asian.man]

As we all know here in Commiefornistan we cannot have magazines that hold over 10 rounds and next year they already banned the importation of "re-build" kits. Here is my solution to turning your Commiefornistan 10 round M&P15-22 mags into fully functional standard capacity "re-build" kits. Yes i sacrificed one of my own mags for the CGN family to find the sweet spot.

and since the 10 rounders do not come with loading assist buttons, i found a company who makes after market ones http://www.raveneyecustom.com/Pages/MP1522.aspx

There's a bunch of threads on exactly where to drill. I just popped the roll pin out with a hammer and screwdriver. No hole anywhere.

Check youtube. There are videos on how to do it without drilling.

I've seen the video on breaking the spine of the mag and removing it that way. I rather drill than do that. I've also heard of guys tapping the pin out w/ a hammer and flathead as mentioned previously.

My order of preference:
1. tap out w/ hammer & flathead
2. drill hole and pull out pin
3. break the mag spine and remove pin
