Quote:Quote: I have a 1945 DOT Israeli Mauser (not really assembled in 1945 but probably in the early 50s so I've been led to believe. The "5" is mis-stamped compared to the rest of the figures). It has a spacer in the front of the magazine but I'm not convinced that it does anything because the round that is fed into the chamber doesn't go near the spacer. I have to cycle the bolt quickly otherwise the round pops out of the magazine ahead of the extractor and it won't snap over the chambered round, but it could be modified to do so. I have a friend who converted an 8mm Mauser to 308 by screwing on an Israeli barrel he got at a gunshow. There's no spacer in the magazine and he hasn't modified the feed rails in any way, and it feeds fine. |
