Glock extended baseplate removal

[Soundwave]

Anyone have any tips for removing one? Most tools I've seen done work on the extended ones. I want to remove and replace the spring so that it feeds better and hopefully engages the LRBHO.

I use locking pliers to gentry squeeze the base of the mag tube (use a rag so you don't scratch it). Then a punch to push in the button and slide the plate off.

I use a small screw driver to push the pin and pry forward a little at the same time. Then remove screwdriver (pushpin should be under the plate now and secured by that) and then put screwdriver into the now open space between the baseplate and rear mag wall and continue prying forward until it’s loose enough to slide off with fingers.

Been doing it this way for years and never caused any damage to anything.

I just throw it at the wall as hard as i can

I wrap the mag body in leather and gently put in a bench vice. Use a punch to push the pin, and tap on the lip of the mag with a soft plastic hammer. Once it gets moving it slides right off, watch for that SPROIIIIIIING followed by 20 minutes of searching the room.

I bought the regular little pry tool which worked great on normal baseplate. It's the extended one on a Scherer that is giving me problems. I also have some old pre-ban G17 most from my dad that have ancient +2s that I would like to replace the spring. I could possibly replace the baseplate too if someone has a good recommendation.

You won’t regret it.

All my mags a in new condition thanks to this product!

I was about to curse you @Reptile because the GTul doesnt even come close to fitting over the extended base plate. But the added pressure to the sides really helped it come off! Thanks.

Gently bend, twist and pry until it looks like this.

Did you buy the pink one?

I wish I could have the Pink one!

They are all Pink on the inside!

I bought my tool 20 years ago.

It only came in red at the time!
