Good evening, this is my first post.  I hope someone can help me.  I bought a new in box 5600C5 Mag-X from a collector and removed the handle side and spool to confirm the internal condition.  When I replaced the spool and handle side, the thumb bar did not work, and when I turn the handle I feel something catching.  After several disassemblies and reassemblies, I removed the opposite side to inspect it.  When I tried to reassemble that side, the mag slide does not work.  I need help.  If anyone has any advice or perhaps a tutorial or even a short reassembly video clip, I would be very grateful.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Hold the thumb bar in its normal position then assemble the side plate making sure the pin on the thumb bar lines up.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.
