I don't know but there is a knob you turn that takes out the spring then you would use art type pipe cleaners with silicone lube would work to clean them out that's what I think?

Use a punch or hobby screw driver to remove the pin and then the cover comes off (hold it down with a finger or the spring will fling it across the room). Pull the spring out and stretch it a tiny bit a section at a time. Then take a t shirt cut up 1x1 inch sections and use wire (I used weed eater line) to push a swap with a bit of silicon oil through each magazine from the feed entrance to the cleaning port.

I just did this to my whole set and the difference was night and day. Good luck and be careful not to lose your pins, port covers, or followers.

Follow:

-Push pin out
-cover top portion of mag with hand
-hit against hard surface (I use my hand)
-Spring WILL shoot out, along with the top piece (small rectangular peice). Keep your hand there, or be prepared to look for the lil shit
-Repeat as needed

Voila. If it doesn't work just pass them on to me and I'll do it lickity-split.
