Shooting my MSch M1903 for the first time...a problem occurred. Although the bolt action is as slick as it should be, the feed of rounds from the rotary mag into the breech is very poor and certainly not smooth, requiring some force and visibly incorrect presentation of the round to the chamber.
Once aligned correctly the rounds chamber smoothly.

The alignment of the cartridge picked from the magazine by the bolt seems wrong though (Not quite high enough) and I cannot see what the problem is...other than perhaps the cartridge lock plate on the right of the breech (spring loaded for releasing cartridges from the magazine) being a restricting factor...but I don't know as it doesn't seem to have been interfered with.

The 'jamming' for want of a better term seems to be at the front of the bullet. Where the nose faces the 'ramp' lifting it into the chamber; but the ramp looks smooth and not interfered with either.
In fact the whole area appears to be correct....but something isn't right! - Photo's show exactly where the jamming resistance starts.

Thoughts from anyone?
