Tools You’ll Need

  • Phillips screwdriver
  • 2mm Allen key

Step 1: Remove the Stock Base Plate

Use your Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw securing the stock base plate. (See Picture 2) Once the screw is removed, the base plate will slide off from back to front.

Step 2: Install the New Base Plate

Slide the upgraded base plate into position. Then use your 2mm Allen key to secure it in place by tightening the included screw. (See Picture 3)

Why Upgrade?

With a bright, high-visibility base plate (like red), your magazine becomes much easier to spot if you accidentally drop it during gameplay. (See Picture 4) It’s a small upgrade—but one that can save you time, frustration, and even money.

Final Thoughts

Quick install, clean look, and practical benefits—this is one of the easiest upgrades you can make to your loadout. Thanks for stopping by, and we’ll see you in the next Airsoft Extreme tech tip!
