    Any lefties reverse their mag release. I can't get the spring to release the part to reverse it.

    Anyone have a tool tip...

    Use a thin long flathead screwdriver to do it. The one that comes in the Armorer's Kit is a 1/8x4 for just this purpose. Hold both sides of the release to prevent it from moving. Push the rod spring towards the front of the frame and over to the open in the "U" cut and out.

    Does the Gen 4 use the same mag release SPRING as the Gen 3?
