The base pad is slidably engaged to the bottom of the magazine tube-thereby securing a magazine spring and follower inside the tube. A plunger latch mechanism is provided to lock the base pad in place. The plunger can be depressed in order to release the base pad and allow it to slide free of the magazine tube. The plunger is biased upward by a lateral cantilever spring. A fixed end of the cantilever spring is attached to the base pad. A free end of the cantilever spring moves with the plunger.
