Every once in a while somebody posts up the question "How do I Remove my blind mag?" or "Do I have a Centerfeed or a Staggerfeed?". While blind mag removal is pretty straight forward, I do know the feeling of worrying that you might break something and a little instruction could help.
Now first to clarify, the Centerfeed Blind Mags stay inside the stock when your action is removed from the stock. The Staggerfeed Blind Mags are attached to the action and will come out with the action when removed from the stock.
Centerfeed Blind Mag Removal
Here you can see the CF mag body and follower still installed into the stock. Notice the location of the silver tab of the "L" clip is down inside the notch over the pillar in the stock.
To remove the magazine from the stock, insert a flat blade screwdriver under the "L" clip. Careful not to bend the tab. A little flexing of the tab is normal but you want to be sure you get the tip of the blade all the way against the back of the "L" clip as indicated by the arrow. Now rotate the screwdriver to start lifting the magazine out of the stock. Be sure to twist the driver and not to pry with the driver as you may bend or damage the "L" clip. Now just lift out the magazine.
Here is what the magazine looks like out of the stock and is placed in order to be re-installed into the stock. To re-install just insert the "L" clip back into its slot and with the follower inside the mag body just push it back into the stock until the mag and clip are fully to the bottom. Often time you will feel a slight pop as it seats back in.
