Default Re: Wooden Bottom Mag problem..

I agree with Marvin that the most critical step in mag bottom repair is getting the retaining pin back in correctly. You'll see a lot of repaired mags, where this has not been done. Unless your mag bottom is matching to your PO8, and depending where the crack is, it may not be worth repairing. If the crack, extends thru the pin hole area, I'd forget about it. Otherwise, lightly sand the cracked area on both pieces and apply a drop of super glue to both. Line up so that the outside surfaces are flush and clamp for at least an hour or better yet overnight. If you do screw it up, GT makes some outstanding unnumbered wood bottoms and might even install it in your tube at a reasonable price. Tom h
