Magazine and feeding issues...
08/11/07 04:46 AM

a number of years back (3, I think), I bought an M98 sporter in 35 Whelen from someone on this forum...

I love the gun. stupid accuracy, looks great, feels great... no complaints for the insanely cheap price I paid.

BUT...

it won't feed from the magazine. I can get one down and one in, but that's it... it won't feed anything past that.

the "tray" that is the floor of the magazine (atop the spring... I want to call it a follower for some reason) is a little chewed up, but not horribly (I don't think).

I THINK the issue is with a 250gr spitzer in .358 is just too bloody big/long for what appears to be an unmodified 1918 M98 magazine...

so, the question becomes: if this is the likely culprit, is it a DIY job for someone with VERY modest smithing skills.

if this is not the likely culprit, what is, and who fix it?

Thanks guys.
