Loading cartridges
To load cartridges into a fully ejected magazine:
1 Center a slot within one of the openings located on the side of the
magazine.
2 Correctly orient the cartridge.
Important
There is a keying feature in each slot that
only lets you fully insert the cartridge one
way.
3 Fully insert the cartridge into the slot.
When pushing the cartridge into the slot, you should feel a small
resistance (detente) until the cartridge is correctly latched into the slot. All
forward progress stops when the cartridge is fully inserted.
Unloading cartridges
You can remove a cartridge the same way you insert it.
To unload cartridges from a fully ejected magazine:
1 Pull the ejected magazine until the first large upper slot is accessible.
2 Use the knobs on the side of the magazine to center the slot and cartridge
you want in the first opening on the cartridge slot side of the magazine.
Do not expose more than the first large upper slot when manually
operating the magazine.
3 Using your thumb and index finger, pull out the cartridge. You should feel
a small resistance, but continue to pull the cartridge until it comes free.
