Thread: Mauser feeding and floorplate

will do. It is a bloody old spring and could probably do with a change regardless.
Had a bit of a comparison with the 8x57 I got recently. The feed ramp doesn't hang over the magazine box at all, just a smooth transition.
On this one, it overhangs a couple of mm. I'll swap the old unit over and see what it looks like. While I'm massaging the rails. I may just smooth it out the same as the 8mm
The cartridges as a rule go straight in if they are up properly so doesn't need much at all. I'll make a round with the 150 grainers and seat it way out and make sure they fit.
If I ever get those unicorn dust 160 grainers @Micky Duck uses I may have to do more lol
