You also can put a pop rivet in ...Takes like no longer than 2 minutes done and ready to rock...

instead of using a .375" diameter wooden/aluminum dowel, you can get plastic or delrin dowels from TAP plastics: http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/prod...50924567321508 or http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/prod...50924567321508

Or go to the wife's closet and acquire some of those nifty plastic hangers.

Nice thread and information...

[Mini14]

Good info.

Anyone had experience being "hassled" for these fixes, whether it was epoxied or riveted? At the range, public land, or elsewhere?

Seems like the photo links are broken. I would recommend a reliable photo host like Imgur.

Would be Nice if your gonna Have a "Sticky" thread that the Information(especially on the 1st Page)would ALL be there??
Kinda defeats the Purpose of Marking this thread as a Place to go for an info-How to source, when one cant come to it and extract ALL of the information needed.

I am in the process of converting my pmag and came up with a different solution. Instead of putting a rod in the follower, why can't you put a rod in the bottom spring holder? I see two advantages to this:

1. Your rod is not constantly moving with the follower, it will be stuck on the base (Should help with durability).

2. When you leave CA, couldn't you remove the base plate, remove the bottom spring holder (with rod), and reassemble with the spring resting on the base plate?

Would this solution be acceptable or do I have to epoxy the base onto the mag?

Here is a pic showing a wooden dowel in the follower, and one in the bottom spring holder:
