So. . . (1) says "both", not "one of". So the mag has to have a block, and then the floor plate has to be welded or epoxied to the body. But then (B) goes on to say that once you've inserted a block, "It" must be riveted. This is the block, presumably?

Lastly, with the block or floorplate welded/riveted in place, if I drop my mag in a mud puddle, I'm now just SOL on cleaning it, yeah? If I bend a feed lip, or dent the side of the magazine, I would be forced to attempt repair without disassembly?

The section previous (5490) says that legal high cap owners are allowed to disassemble magazines for cleaning and repair. Low cap owners aren't entitled to the same right?

Thanks.

If the mud got in without taking the magazine apart, it can come out the same way. Not to rain on anyone's parade.

Hmmm my thorsden bullet button tools that are screwed into the front of all my mags so I can use them to release the previous mag do this cool thing where it keeps the spring or block from dropping out. Not sure I'd like to have new rivets in my plastic mags. Usually how they split open.

If you are a non-exempt person, then you need to clean it without disassembling it.

It is legal to take it to a gunsmith for cleaning/maintenance/repair/modifications, because the gunsmith is an exempt person.

Thanks for the confirmation. I didn't think about taking it to someone. Still frustrating.
