Re: MSch M1903 rotary magazine feed problem!

Deeangeo, I have a Greek 1903 action only which has identically the same feeding problem even with brand new brass and the correct 160 grain round nose soft nose bullets. The case hits that lip and jams up solid.
The action has been dicked with by someone else before me and I have to sit down and work out why this is happening. I have a model 1910 in 9.5 x 57 MS which feeds perfectly with round nose bullets as well as pointed soft points, but I can not get that 1903 to feed regardless of the bullet seating depth. If I get a chance I will try to sort it out and let you know. Waidmannsheil.
It's interesting we both have this same problem on the M1903.
Apart from exactly where the cartridge jams against the edge of the RH lower feed ramp, it's certainly not obvious what the actual cause of the problem is.
One thing for sure, I absolutely cannot see that the action/receiver has been 'messed about with' & I cannot know if the mag. is original or a replacement.
I do know it is the 'correct' 6.5x54 rotary mag.
I'll post further as I progress with this.
Cheers, deeangeo
