UPDATE!
I contacted GT regarding the mag. I ended up getting it in with his help and then found it was the wrong one for my mag. During the process of trying to get it back out i messed it up pretty bad. This was a few days before christmas. I wrote him again concerning my new delema. He said "Its Christmas, send it to me and ill get it back in shape, No charge" 0_0 I sent it to him and got it back in about a week. Its not renickeled but it looks fantastic and works perfectly. Cant even tell i really did anything to it.
I say GT is a top on my list. Ive been on gun forums since i was 13 and hes got to be in the top three for me.

Hi guys,
I got me a button to fix that mag i just baught. All i need to know is how to put it in without dammaging the mag. Is that nipple supposed to mushroom out....are you supposed to press it in there? It feels and looks like the old button is completely gone. I checked the depth.
The idea that comes to mind is using a screw C clamp and putting a piece of cloth between the mag and clamp and button and clamp and pressing it in there? Sound like an idea?
Thanks
Jarrod
