BROO!!!! I wanted to thank you for this video, I purchased the kit with 3 10 round mags and I did this to mines and worked perfectly! I honestly think CMMG did that on purpose for people to easily take the pin out and convert these...

PSA offers this kit with a single 25rd mag for $175, or 3 10rd mags for $169. You my friend just saved me a bunch of money in magazines.

Yes Sir, that is my intentions. At first I was going to just fix it without doing a video but then I said I was overdue for an upload 😁 I’m sure my coworker had no ideal he got a 10 rounder max. I’m going to try to find one of those BDM short versions on these. Thanks for watching Brother

Thanks for the how-to! Here’s a quick tip for you. If you use the base of the round being loaded to depress the round beneath and then rotate the round up under and back of the feed lips, it’s much easier to load, especially as you get near the end.

Nice new standard capacity magazine you have there - great work! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A pair of pliers will yank the pin right out of the inside. I did this and can fit 27 rounds in there now. The CMMG website says 25 for the "real" magazine. Thanks for the video bro!

Your a life saver! I accidentally bought a kit after playing with a buddies but I bought the 10 round version. Nice to see I can change it pretty easily!

Those comifornia mags identify as standard capacity now.

I'm in NY we are restricted to 10 round so thank you bro! Much love and respect..

I like your way of thinking about leaving the pin in there . I think that it rattling is the only way a average person will ever remember that it's in there. In another words if it doesn't rattle it will be forgotten and of no use . So let it rattle let in roll . Or take a very tight size drill bit & reinstall that pin in a visible but otherwise non consequential plastic area of the mag . So as to remember what it once was and can re become .

Excellent video, my dude.

Worked great. Instead of using a punch to get the pin out, I grabbed the pin with pliers and pulled while turning back and forth. I did get some sandpaper to smooth out the plastic where the pin went through.

You know the engineer at CMMG did this on purpose 😂 Edit… thx for the video. I’m gonna un-neuter my mags right now 👍

Hey brother I was researching & I think these magazines won’t work in other rifles like M&P 15-22 which sucks as I like those. I wish they wouldn’t use adhesive as I think every magazine will need a good cleaning eventually & the adhesive will make it more difficult for the end user to service. Hope all is well.

Based on my experience shooting thousand of 22 lr . that magazine will not last long once the plastic feed lips is loose. I suggest you throw that mag and replace it with steel lips available already on the market.

I shot over 20k rds of 22lr last year alone Bro. From several different platforms pistols to rifles. At $10 each the magazine it was a no brainer. This is a plinker & training gun. Malfunctions with any weapon makes great training drills. But I will say I do own a few of the Blackdog magazines with steel lips. So far my mags with plastic lips are still running good.

My 1st gen mags had a plastic pin that just pulled out.. The red dot is still visible from the outside, I'm guessing that's a telltale for a compliant mag.

Hey man I haven't made it through your whole back catalog of videos, so I'm not sure if you have a lot of experience with these, but if you have issues with them, back the screws out a little bit, check if any plastic flashing is in the way of the follower 1000 grit sand paper usually works and I like to spray in the inside the mag body some graphite lube

Thanks for the video, doesn’t look hard at all. Do you think it would be advantageous to drill some small peep holes in the side to see ammo count or are these magazines already flimsy? I don’t want to mess with the structural integrity too much.

That’s a great idea. A potential downside to that is getting dirt or other debris in the magazines once it hits the ground during a reload. I run my guns pretty hard & the magazines take abuse. But it could work. I own some of the black dog magazines that are translucent so that maybe a better option. Thanks for watching and commenting

That spring was a lot like the snake in a Pringles can prank! Do the CMMG .22LR conversions work well? I don’t have any experience with them or any of the .22LR AR style rifles like the Colt M4 .22LR or M&P 15-22. They look fun - I’ve wondered if they are a challenge to keep clean and running with a suppressor.

Any idea if the gen 2 magazines can be similarly converted? I live in a restricted state, but I would like to buy magazines that can be converted so that in the event that the ban gets struck down, or I leave the state, I can convert them to standard capacity. Gen 2 magazines are preferable because they have last round bolt hold open functionality, but I suppose I will settle for gen 1s if the gen 2 can't be converted.
