That makes about as much sense as changing the oil in your car by dumping 5 quarts of oil into the crankcase (for 10 quarts total), and THEN draining 5 quarts of oil and stabbing the plug back in.
How hard is it to pop a floor plate off, blast the inside with some aerosol Remoil, and then wipe clean with an old rag and a tooth brush. Literally a 45 second operation for a perfectly clean, and perfectly lubricated magazine.
Your mags after the dunk will be WAY, WAY over lubricated if you don't take the floor plates off and wipe everything down with a rag.
Shakes head.
