I wasn’t aware that purchasing a 10 round mag is the same as the 30 round, except for the insert. Can you explain if I can remove this spacer insert? — 1 Answer

yes you can remove the insert but the magazine will not be functional due to the short spring. you would need to replace the spring with a standard 30rd spring as well.
