Thread: Mauser feeding and floorplate

Righto mauser experts
All but finished the parker hale 270.
It is a shooter as such but haven't yet.
Anyway went to see how it feeds.
It started as a 7x57 so maybe
Well it does but some small adjustments required.
The feed rails need a tiny bit taken off as the projectiles rub and can be a bit sticky. Makes sense as 270s are.a little longer than the original chambering
That's ok but the main one on the last round the floor plate pushes forward and the front of the floorplate gets caught by the feed ramp.
Close to 10mm gap between front of follower and mag box
It is running a different mag box/floorplate assembly but it compares the same to the original
Using the original follower and spring
Initial google research suggests a new/stronger spring?.
I could try some swapsies with the 8x57 I got off a forum member recently to prove the concept
Thoughts?
