Your hinged floorplate may pop out after fire if it is not adjusted properly. The floorplate can be adjusted in or out using the adjustment screw located on the release lever. Turn the firearm upside-down with the muzzle facing away from you. Using the adjustment screw, adjust the floorplate until it is flush with the hinged floorplate frame, then turn the adjustment screw approximately 1/4 turn counter clockwise. This will adjust the floorplate out from the frame slightly. When finished you should have about a 1/4 inch of play when you push in on the rear of the floorplate, if adjusted properly.
