A magazine consists of several main parts. Each has its specific purpose, some can be replaced for better weapon operation and some you even have to replace if you want to upgrade the weapon with a magwell:

• Body: the main part into which cartridges are inserted, usually made of polymer, aluminum or steel.
• Spring: pushes the follower inside the magazine body upward and thus feeds cartridges into the chamber. It is most often subject to wear, its strength decreases and jamming occurs.
• Follower: the plastic part on top of the spring on which the cartridges sit.
• Base pad: holds the spring and follower inside the magazine body. Shooters often change this part of the magazine. Why?
  • Better resistance in a drop,
  • better weight distribution, where a heavier base pad improves the weapon’s behavior due to weight distribution,
  • increasing the magazine capacity,
  • possible ergonomic elements for a more comfortable grip.
  • installation of a magwell on the weapon – to be able to insert magazines, it is necessary to replace the base pads with ones that are compatible with the magwell.
