SVT-40 and SVT-38 mag dissasembly / cleaning

[AlexV]

I don't own a SVT-38 magazine yet (it's on it's way) but I would like to know how to disassemble it (in pictures it would be great).

I would like to know the same for SVT-40 magazines (in pictures too if possible).

Thanks!

The SVT 38 mag have a cuped floorplate and i dont have one yet, here's the procedure for a SVT 40 wich have a flat floorplate.

There's a hole on the mag floorplate.

Insert a pointed object through the hole to depress the floorplate locking plate then slide the plate foward to unlock it.

Slide the floorplate off the mag, keeping the lockplate and magazine spring under control.

Carefully remove the mag spring. Depending on the way your mag is pinned, the cartridge follower will remain inside. That's it!

I've got two or three SVT 38 mags. I'll snap some pics in the morning for you!
