sandrooney Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 How do I remove the base pad on a glock 33 rounder? Link to comment
Jeff_Alan Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I found that using a clamp on the sides as close to the pad that you can get to compress the mag. Then pry them off. You probably can search YouTube for a better description also Link to comment
sandrooney Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks. I tried you tube and there was no info on the 33 rounder . Do they come off the same as the rest of the Glock mags? I obviously have no experience with any glock mags. Thanks a lot, SR Link to comment
dapribek Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Yes, they come off like other Glock mags. It might be more difficult because of the increased spring pressure. Link to comment
Jeff_Alan Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 There is a small tool that you can buy. But I would advise you to save your money. Just use a smal, punch. I had no Glock experience either. Link to comment
MikieM Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I push the button in with a clock tool then perch the edge of the base pad on the edge of my bench vise and beat the mag body off with a hammer with a nylon face. Those Glock mags are tougher than jailhouse meat. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Hello: Use a 1/8" punch and push the inner retaining plate up about and inch or so to remove it like other Glock base pads. The retainer is cup shaped so it has to go in further so you can remove the base pad. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
1911luvr Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 How do I remove the base pad on a glock 33 rounder? I prefer dynamite. Damn things are tough!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
sandrooney Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Got it. Just pushed the plate in with a allen wrench put the pad on the edge of the bench and pushed. It was not easy but it did come off. Thanks a lot for all the help SR Link to comment
Marshal82 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The Tool helps a lot and makes it a lot easier without damaging the "tabs" to help lock the base pad on the body. Link to comment
Chillywig Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 It takes a combination of about 25 different cuss words to get them off. Link to comment
L9X25 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 It is easier if you have 4 hands. Link to comment
9x45 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 while resting the extension on a sharp right angle surface, push the pin in and down on the mag body at the same time. it will come right off. Link to comment
stick Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Wrap some electrical tape around a pair of channel locks. Push in the pin and squeeze gently near the base pad. the plate will slide off. Link to comment
verla Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 FYI- these glock mags may stick in your gun unloaded- loaded they stick ever tighter in the magwell- they have to be filed/sanded on to reduce the width so the empty mag is drop free- then when loaded they "expand" and stick in the magwell even though you have sanded and fitted them when unloaded- the 33 round Korean mags are better and the clear plastic 33 rounders are even better- Link to comment
sandrooney Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have 5-Glock 33rd mags . 2-with TF extensions and 3-stock. The 3-stock ones drop free empty or loaded. 1 of the extended one's won't drop free either way and the other extended one only drops free when empty. Don't really care on the extended one's as they hold 41 rds and shouldn't need to reload in USPSA unless there is a malfunction. In that case I will just yank it out. If I ever go to an outlaw match then I might look into a fix. Even then the 33 rounders should suffice, there is always a place to reload on a long course. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hello: I would add 2 Magpul 21 round magazines to your magazine collection. They work great for reloads on classifiers and drop free very easily. I have noticed some lowers drop mags easier than others even using the same mags in both. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
sandrooney Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanks Eric, I have 2 - Magpul 17 rounders for reloads they seem to work well. Link to comment
