hand and with the other hand 
grip the magazine’s base plate.

only enough to clear the rear of  
the magazine extension.
S
TEP  2:  Slide the base plate toward 
the front of  the magazine to 
remove it.
STEP  3:  While holding the  
magazine in one hand, use the 
index finger of  the other hand 
to gently apply a small amount 
of  pressure to the release lever 
at the bottom of  the magazine 
extension. 
 T his will retract the two small tabs at the rear of  the extension which keep it in place.

MAGAZINE POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR FACE. 
						

							
CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure to the release lever or it may break off.
CAUTION:  The spring and follower are compressed in the magazine. Care should be 
taken during this step to prevent them from flying out.
STEP  4:  While maintaining the 
gentle pressure on the release 
lever, begin to rotate the 
magazine extension downward 
to release it from the metal 
magazine body. Release 
 
pressure from the lever as 
soon as the two small tabs at 
the top rear of  the extension 
clear the magazine body. The 
extension can now be removed 
by easing it slightly rearward to release the round tab at the front. The spring and 
magazine  follower can now be removed through the opening at the bottom of  the 
metal magazine body. As you remove it, note which end faces the front.
CLEANING
CAUTION:  Do not attempt to remove the follower from the spring.
Wipe the outside of  the magazine with a rag. Insert a dry rag through the opening 
 
at the bottom of  the metal magazine body and remove all residue from the inside.  
Do the same from the smaller opening at the top.
Clean all residue from the spring and from the magazine follower.
CAUTION:
  Do not apply oil to any part or lubricate any part of  the magazine.
REASSEMBLY
STEP 1:  Insert the spring and follower into the opening at the bottom of  the metal 
magazine body.
CAUTION:
  Make sure that the rounded top edge of  the follower is at the front of  
the magazine.
Position the bottom of  the spring around the four posts on the magazine extension. 
Then, gently compress the spring with the magazine extension so that it is fully 
 
contained inside the magazine body. Engage the round tab at the top front of  the 
38
magazine extension in the small  
hole at the front of  the  
magazine body.
While still holding the spring 
compressed, gently apply a tiny 
amount of  rearward pressure to 
 
the lever at the bottom of  the 
extension until some resistance 
is felt.
Then, rotate the rear of  the 
extension upwards so it engages the magazine body. Continue rotating until the two 
small tabs are fully engaged.
Release the pressure from the lever at the bottom of  the extension. The magazine 
extension is now locked in place.
S
TEP 2:  With your index finger, 
gently depress the lever at the 
bottom of  the extension. This 
will allow you to replace the 
base plate without breaking 
the tab.
While holding the lever in a 
depressed position, begin to 
replace the base plate by sliding 
it rearward from the front of  the extension. Be sure that the base plate engages the 
two rails on the sides of  the extension.
Continue to slide the base plate towards the rear until a click is heard, indicating that 
the slotted tab at the rear of  the base plate has passed over the rear edge of  the 
extension, locking it in place.
Reassembly is now complete.
These instructions apply to all 10-round magazines for Para-Ordnance 
 
Hi-Cap .45, Hi-Cap Limited .45, Hi-Cap .40, Hi-Cap Limited .40, Hi-Cap 9,
