I've got a Remington 1903a3 springfield 30.06. It holds 5 rounds and feeds the first 4 smooth as butter. The last round won't feed at all. It jams up tight against the right side rail after only moving about 1/2 inch forward. The tip is not hanging on the ramp and it appears theat the cartridge is hanging at the shoulder. Any ideas? Could the follower be wrong. Thanks, Weagle | ||

That's what I would do, try a different follower... While working on my '03 Springfield Express in .30-06 many years back, I overzealously honed the follower flat on my trusty Arkansas sharpening stone- sure looked great! Created a double feed with 4th and 5th round or throwing the 5th out of the mag all together. I swapped followers and the thing gobbles shells as it should... I'm still working on that damn gun... Another one that needs a stock | |||

Make sure your mazazine box is not in a bind with the stock. Stock pressure applied to the side of the magazine can and will cause the last round to bind. Found this out the hard (normal) way when I put a M-17 Enfield into a fiberglass stock. Only required removing a little fiberglass from the side of the magazine well in the stock to correct the problem. | |||

Thanks for the replies. I'll try both and see if it works. I guess worst case is I have a 4 shooter which would be fine with me except that I hate when something isn't right. Good shooting, Weagle | |||
