For magazines that can't be easily disassembled, just soak for an hour in cheap paint thinner or more expensive mineral spirits.
Pump the follower a time or two during the soak.
Remove and shake off the excess, then either blow out with compressed air, or use a hair dryer to warm it up to dry. (Note: Hair dryer, NOT torch, heat gun, or oven).
Once dry the magazine spring and inside the magazine can rust so I give it a spray with a dry lubricant to both prevent rust and to lubricate.
Currently I'm using WD-40 Dry Lube with Teflon, bought at Minard's.
