Hi, Nukem and George,
Sorry, George, but a Model 41 mag can't be stripped that way.
Nukem, press in on the little button in the floorplate with any convenient tool (a ball pen will do nicely) and pull the floorplate forward until there is a gap between the floorplate and the back of the magazine. insert a small screwdriver and pry the floorplate forward; it will almost pop out.
The rest is obvious.
Jim
P.S. 700PSS Shooter, with the floorplate on, you can't get the follower down far enough to allow the thumb piece to come out.
Jim
