Tapco SKS Magazine Modification for Disassembly

Tapco SKS Magazine Modification for Disassembly
Here is a vid showing how to disassemble a Tapco Magazine for a SKS. It's great to have the ability to take your magazine apart for cleaning especially because some 7.62x39 ammo is extremely dirty and corrosive. Hope this video helps. Cheers : )

Everyone is totally here for cleaning purposes!! 😜

[@heavypetting8175]

I never heard canada called that.

[@shaneworden1325]

Video is seven years old and is still one of the best on KZbin. Thank you!

[@clarkehaughn1686]

Thanks a million man. I was worried about cleaning these things

[@jerryd3751]

Thanks very much. Tapco / Remington said it wasn't recommended to take apart as you could damage or break it. Probably their protective response. This worked great as you described. Now it is easy to disassemble for cleaning.

[@kaylamarie8309]

Just cleaned three of my Tapco restricted 20 round to 5 round mags..brand new never out of the plastic but cleanliness is next to Godliness! lol. I'm in South Carolina USA so I am not restricted anyway but your vid was very helpful in restoring the mags to capacity. Might have to order 4 or 5 more mags to clean now lol.

[@buddyrebel_Garcia]

Did you accidentally cut the restrictor? Lol

[@kaylamarie8309]

@@buddyrebel_Garcia sorta accidentally on purpose lol

[@buddyrebel_Garcia]

@@kaylamarie8309 lol me too I was cleaning it and I accidentally grabbed the dremel and cut it. Oh well

[@kaylamarie8309]

@@buddyrebel_Garcia funny how that happens!

[@SUBPAROUTDOORS]

Thanks was using corosive ammo and gunk it up so I stoped feeding glad I can use my sks again

[@12345penut]

5 rounds for me I'm from Canada . land of the free huh ?

[@4deuce31]

Nice vid. I just ordered a couple of these mags & living in CT, we can only have 10 rnds. Same deal I'm sure with them being pinned. I was trying to imagine how I was going to clean them out or replace a spring or was I going to have to toss them out. Thanks for the service tip.

[@technicaltrack5061]

That old SKS ammo is sooooooofa king dirty, mag really needs to be cleaned often

[@chadsemeniuk274]

Hey can you upload a new video explaining how to take this mag apart for the new mags and pins they came out with?

[@Bikesairsoft141]

up to 10 years in prison here in ontario if you remove the pin and fire it weather there is 5 rounds or 20 :( hat gun laws and restrictions, when i was in grade school a few years back all anyone could say was how free we are, ya right

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

+dont tread on me yeah we are so free that i kinda get an overdose of freedom....sometime i think i wouldnt mind a rigth wing dictatorship....in the end we already have an authoritarian regime,its just that it have degenerate leftist values,at least with the dictatorship we could save the commie crap.lol sad and funny at the same time

[@seagulcheese]

What about the Tapco 20 round mags in Canada that have a visible silver rivet through the sides of the mag.? Will this method still work with that style?

[@winnipegjohnston]

I haven't come across the style you speak of. If the bottom of the magazine looks the same I'd take a guess that it would work. Although to have complete access to the magazine for cleaning I'm assuming you would have to drill out that rivet.

[@mikeyashawasegai9388]

cant yoh just take them out? i own two but havent cleaned them lol that pin is just to keep you from putting more than five rounds but if you live in an an area with no such restrictions just drill the pin or dremmel it outta there

[@muskoka91]

Mine doesn't have one of those plugs but it's got a rivet in the side of it? Makes it difficult for cleaning because I cant get the spring out without drilling the rivet

[@neegancommoner1963]

Pretty sure we all think Canada's laws on mag limits are retarded. yet we all still follow them because we are the finest canadains out there. even pedophiles don't get harrassed as much as us but we love firearms so we suffer.

[@SpytheGSD]

Thanks, nice Subaru too!

[@winnipegjohnston]

you're welcome and thank you! nice dub ; )

[@KALINGANJA007]

Yea I'm in Texas.. I don't have to deal with this silly shit..I have a 75rd drum ordered..

[@winnipegjohnston]

Yeah, the 5rd mag rule sucks up here : ( 75rd drum?! That's awesome man...gunna be intense!!

[@KALINGANJA007]

Here I can buy 100 RdS for $30 usd

[@sonofhextall]

goddamn you man lol

[@KALINGANJA007]

joe bob live free or die bro.....god bless Texas.

[@winnipegjohnston]

Lol, damn...I should move to Texas, sounds awesome : D

[@clarkehaughn1686]

Cough cough cleaning. ..yes

[@orionrj16]

Im sure modifying the plug would help the mag hold more, though would the spring be sufficient enough to feed more than 5 rounds?

[@winnipegjohnston]

Yup, the spring will feed 20 rounds no problem.

[@GalamineGary]

You ever just load the magazine to full capacity and wish you had freedom like we do?

[@kaylamarie8309]

great mag cleaning vid ;-)

[@Gmoney-gq1pl]

Can u do this on the new mags with the steel floor plate ?? I'm assuming it's same proccess just need a drill but that can drill through the steel aswell ??

[@tm-loweffortai]

The one dislike is Bill Blair.

[@hellzone102]

So you still need the bottom of the pin in order for it to function?

[@winnipegjohnston]

You would need the bottom plate portion after cutting off the plug for the spring to sit on.

[@thecupcakeman69]

Does this work with the steel floor ones? Is there only certain ones they work for because I have two, one had the steel floor plate with the plastic bottom which looks a lot like yours and the other has what appears to be just a plastic bottom. Doesn't look like you can slide it off at all like you did

[@winnipegjohnston]

Not too sure to be honest. The only ones I've seen from Tapco are like the ones in this video.

[@tankkiller41]

Where did you buy those

[@MrSnappyComeback]

wont work on some on the later ones because of a bolt head under the pin

[@oldford71]

what would you do in that case?

[@mrarmo13]

MrSnappyComeback They literally put a metal pin on the side of my mags and its visible.. can't even pull the damn middle part out. Unfucking believable.. how the hell am I suppose to clean that shit? I got dirt build up and the thing barely moves.

[@georgisgarage]

mrarmo13 oh man I just made a video about it. where my mag is pinned with a rivet through the side I can't even load the mag into the riffle if it has ammo in it. the bullets interfere because they can't slide down. bolt mod and I still need an open chamber to load a mag......

[@hasanalzregioe6362]

Hello How much is the price of this store

[@barnyard8518]

25 stickers

[@Mcnutts3]

Just bought a promag 30rd and all it had was a piece of wood in it to limit the rounds... No drilling or rivets

[@randallracer]

wtf is the point of the plug? aint that a 20 round mag? or are you guys limited to say 5 or 10? n if thats the case why not make only 5 or 10 round mags available? on that note wtf is the point of limiting the rounds? seems cali wants to be a part of canada. jeeze.

Verry help full.

[@idrive17]

Canada regs not to be a legal keener, but laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-98-462/FullText.html (4) A cartridge magazine described in subsection (1) that has been altered or re-manufactured so that it is not capable of containing more than five or ten cartridges, as the case may be, of the type for which it was originally designed is not a prohibited device as prescribed by that subsection if the modification to the magazine cannot be easily removed and the magazine cannot be easily further altered so that it is so capable of containing more than five or ten cartridges, as the case may be.
