Hello GG375,
thanks for the reply , I have a 270 ,with a broken follower ,it was hard to load when I first got it and rounds stuck in the magazine ,then I could hear bits rattling inside it ,took the floor plate off and found follower broken ,where did you get a new follower for yours ? after doing a search Win Australia website came up .Stating [part] ,''Not Available'' ,then Gunworld website in Brisbane ,I ordered it online from them, but not sure if it will be a happening thing or not .I emailed Steyr but got no reply from them ,being a CRF ,if the mag doesn't work then its hard for the bolt to pick up a round ,you cant put one straight in the chamber, the bolt/ extractor will not close over a round, and the last thing I want to do is break an extractor ,the over all quality of rifle is very good only, let down by a plastic follower .Which then if you cant get parts, you are up shits creek in a barbed wire canoe .the other thing with the bolt pulled rear ward ,don't inadvertently touch the bolt shroud safety on the right side or the striker will pop out of the bolt .the only other thought was the follower was incorrect for this rifle as when you put rounds in it ,its too tight .
Thanks again GG375
