Re: Takedown Mauser (homemade)

Thought I might add what I have found to be a better solution to the magazine problem, the system I first used worked ok but feeding was still a problem as the third cartridge would not feed properly. I had thought of using an AK or AR magazine but too much metal would have to be removed from the box. So with that thought in mind I went with the follower from the 7.62 AR magazine and shaped it to fit and shortened the spring to fit in the well and added a block (thanks Daryl) to keep the cartridges forward and centered on the follower. It now will hold 4 down and feed and eject I might get 5 down if I cut the spring but for now 4 is enough. Now a new bolt handle and safety and should be good to go.
