Identifying slots
Each slot has an identification number that is exposed when the slots are in the
upper section of the magazine. With the magazine removed from the
autoloader, you can see the identification mark on the top side of the magazine
through one of two windows on the upper surface of the magazine.
Each magazine has a unique identification number indicating whether it is the
right or left magazine. The left magazine is number 1 and the right magazine
is number 9.
Replacing a magazine or magazine blank
Caution
If your autoloader was ordered as a
one-magazine autoloader, make sure
that you remove the plastic shipping
insert from the magazine bay before
connecting or operating your
autoloader. Insert either a magazine or a
magazine blank into the bay. The
autoloader does not function without
both magazine bays equipped with
either a magazine or a magazine blank.
To replace a cartridge magazine or magazine blank, you need to remove the
current magazine or blank, then install the new magazine or blank.
Important
Handles are either right or left. They are
not interchangeable between the left
and right sides of the autoloader.
