[QUOTE="Gasman, post: 1450813, member: 2593"] I'm assuming that your rifle is a 308, and that you took out the mag block. That's likely to cause feeding issues, because as you noted, now the follower is too short for the magazine. To answer your question, 308-family Win 70's and WSM's use the same magazine spring. I've installed a WSM mag box (which doesn't have the magazine block) and a WSM follower in a 308 and it fed dummy rounds flawlessly. You might try going that route. The parts are available at Midwest Gun Works. [/QUOTE]
