    Well I finally got around to getting it done today.

    I knew I'd have them detents to deal with. The instructions from Choate Machine Tool say to drill them out with 3/16" bit, but I wasted an hour trying to smooth them out instead.

    I had watched a Brownell's YouTube where they used a detent removal tool that they offer - its like a mandrel (proper term?) that one drives into the magazine to push them out. So I used a 1/2" socket extension about the right size - well it wasn't quite large enough and I couldn't get the detents smoothed out enough, so I wound up drilling them out anyway (plus filing to clean-up the drilled holes).

    Finished product works like its supposed to and its comforting to know that I have a boomstick "at the ready" that holds 10 rounds of 00 thumpers!

    Well let's see a pic, then!

    I survived hell day, as if I would forget New Orleans sucks . I noticed the police have cameras up all over certain areas marked with a red and blue flashing light. Probably an area I shouldn't have been. At night their police cars drive with all the blue lights on, you can see them from a long distance. 7 hours to drop 3 times, sleep time now. Till tomorrow.
