Hi,
I just received my Vz52/57 made by SHE in '58
The rifle came with three magazines, which I understand is very fortunate for me as spare mags are difficult to find. However, one of the magazines appears to have been disassembled and reassembled with the floorplate reversed.
I'd like to disassemble and reassemble the magazine properly, but I have no idea where to start. Does anyone have instructions on how to break down a Vz 52/57 magazine? I'm hesistant to start pushing/pulling/prying things on the magazine without some hints for fear of damaging it.
ADDENDUM: I can't believe I didn't find this link with instructions on magazine disassembly:

It looks pretty straightforward, but I'll leave this post in case anyone else is interested.
