Re: MSch M1903 rotary magazine feed problem!

Images kindly sent to me by a friend.. don't you just love the jewel like intricacy of these magazines. So beautifully put together... and each very specific to their cartridges..even varying by year of manufacture.
Just wonderful - until someone switches them from their original rifle.
As the photos were taken by me, some explanation, top left to right:
M1903 in 6.5x54 M-Sch, M1910 in 9.5x57 M-Sch, M1924 in .30-06, M1925 in 8x60S, GK "Magnum", 1968, in 6.5x68. These magazines are not interchangable. even the 1910 one does not fit into a 1903, as it is wider.
Bottom photo: Not the intricate machining of the M1903 follower and it's spring assembly.
The .458 Magazine with it's double cartridge guide ring is very interesting too. Never seen such a thing.
