Thread: Tikka mags

I just did one, effectively making a medium into a medium +. It’s not pretty but it works.

Disassemble the magazine: press down on the plastic follower and the front will pop up. Wiggle the follower and attached spring out through top of magazine.

Remove bottom of mag: I used a flat head screwdriver to pry the walls apart, releasing the bottom section.

Remove the rear plate: I just used a pair of pliers. Starting at the bottom of the mag snap it off piece by piece. It sounds crude but the side of mag and feed lips are much stronger than the plastic you pry away and won’t be effected.

Tidy up with a craft knife/file/dremel.

Create a new rear plate: I’m really sophisticated. I cut up an ice cream lid and superglued it in place of the original rear section. It’s shaped just big enough to let my rounds fit in the mag.

There is now a small gap between the follower and the rear of the mag but it doesn’t effect the operation.
