Ok I'm having a blonde moment. How do I take the backplate off this? I'm trying to install a MagWedge to join two LAR15 mags but can't seem to take the back off which is required for install. 30 round mags have a notch to push in. There is just a hole here. Help plz!

*WATCH OUT FOR THE SPRING* Put a screwdriver in that hole on the left and pry up. Then shift the plate toward the left. The spring will pop out towards you, do it slow.
 
I use a small pair of needle nose pliers, stick on end in the hole and use the other one to grab the small lip on the end on the floor plate. Just lever it up a bit then slide it off.

As stated, beware of the spring!
 
A small screwdriver as Bruno pointed out, stuck partially into the hole just to get enough leverage to lift the lip/catch above the lip of the mag and pull forward. Wear eye protection...
 
a alen key works better because it's like an L you get better leverage to lift it up and slide it at the same time.
