This eliminates the juggling act required to do these operations with one hand while maintaining all that pressure with the other--a setup which is inherently unstable and may slip if you're not careful. Afterwards, remove the mag, cycle the action, de-c0ck, and you're good.
You know I tried that, but after inserting the mag and pulling all the way back until I get lock-back, that still doesn't allow me to put the side-plate back on or move the Take-Down Bolt up. And the barrel/top of the gun won't budge. Any ideas? Your way sounds much easier than the other that I'd like to get it, but I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks
