grip  the magazine’s base 
plate. Use your thumb 
to slightly raise the 
 
slotted tab at the rear 
of  the base plate.

  Lift the  
slotted tab only enough 
to clear the rear of  the 
magazine extension.
S

towards the front of  the 
magazine to remove it.
S
TEP  3:  While  holding the

the release  lever at the bottom of  the magazine extension.

This will retract the two small tabs at the rear of  the extension 
which keep  it in place. Gently increase the pressure on the 
release lever until some resistance is felt.
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.
BEFORE PROCEEDING MAKE SURE  
YOU ARE WEARING SAFETY GLASSES 
 
AND KEEP THE MAGAZINE 
 
POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR FACE.

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 
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.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
When transporting your firearm to and from shooting activities, 
keep it unloaded and obey all laws relating to the transportation 
of  firearms in your area.
When storing your firearm, store it securely and keep it  separated 
from ammunition, under lock and key, and out of  the sight and 
reach of  children and other inexperienced persons.
N
OTE:   Protect your firearms from theft.
S
TEP 2: 
With your index 
finger, gently depress 
the lever at 
the  
bottom of  the  extension.  This will 
allow you to replace t he 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 P-Series and S-Series handguns except the 
Warthog.  In order to clean  and disassemble the Warthog, 
 
follow the instructions on page 34 for the  hi-cap magazine.
