I assume you are talking about the magazine plug?

Just unscrew the end of the magazine, pull the barrel out of the reciever, and tilt the gun downwards.
The plug is a dowel with two rubber bands on it. A small length should protrude when you tilt the gun forward, and simply pulling the dowel should remove it altogether.
