This guide details the proper cleaning and maintenance procedures for both polymer and metal firearm magazines, emphasizing the importance of regular inspection and the use of dry lubricant to prevent dirt and residue buildup. The instructor, with apparent expertise, highlights common failure points originating from magazines and provides step-by-step instructions for disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly of various magazine types, including Glock, AR-15 PMAGs, and older USGI models.

This guide, presented by experts from Brownells, details the proper method for lubricating firearm magazines. It emphasizes using dry film lubricants like Otis Dry Lube, which are graphite-based, instead of traditional liquid lubricants. The process involves disassembling the magazine, applying the dry lube to the spring and follower, allowing it to dry, and reassembling. This technique helps prevent malfunctions caused by lint and dust attraction common with liquid lubricants.
