9.3x62 mag capacity?
In three different actions; a M70, M700 & a Mauser 98 I can only get four down. I guess your experiences are the same? No I am not interested in drop magazines. Can't afford them.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

In my Ruger, 4, in my Mauser, 5. I made the box to the right dimensions.

Mike you widened the factory box a bit at the back end? How much?

my pre-64 will hold five, but the top round is balky to feed with a full magazine. Taking a touch off the follower would probably be all it would take though

Mine measures about .890" at the rear, the front however is more important.

I get 5 down easy in a 1908 Brazilian and it feeds fine.

FN Mauser 98 - 4 down. If you need more, you also need to learn how to shoot.

Rebarrel a Vz-24 from 8x57 to 9,3x62 - Mag capacity went from 5 to 4!

Yep the mauser box is a wee bit tight fore & aft.
