[QUOTE="Harry Knutz, post: 2986097, member: 123671"] What you are experiencing is the extractor is hitting the rim of the cartridge making it very difficult or at least very hard to close the bolt. The Mauser 98's and also the small rings feed system is called a CRF or controlled round feed system. YOU MUST PLACE THE CARTRIDGE IN THE MAGAZINE, So the bolt can pick up the cartridge as it goes by and slides up the extractor and into the bolt face. Forcing it will break the extractor. I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question, Yes as Bret said, you can bevel the follower to allow the bolt to close on the empty magazine without pushing it down. Here is a pic with the bevel.
