1903 MS Takedown Magazine Adjustment?

With Factory Loads as well as Reloads loaded to correct Overall Length, Rounds cycle without a hitch in my 1903. But in my 1903 Takedown they hang up on a projection (cartridge guide) on the right side off the action interior. A slight dent is created at the junction of the shoulder and the body of the cartridge case. Once past the obstruction rounds feed smoothly.
It occurs to me that the mag spring in the Takedown may need adjusting for a bit more tension top raise the round in the magazine.
I have been unable to locate instructions on adjusting magazine spring tension.
Does anyone think I am in the right track?
Does anyone have instructions on adding tension to the magazine spring?
Photos attached to show dented case and a round loaded in the magazine.
Thanks in advance for aunt input.
