[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1638734, member: 27307"] Here I thought that all of this stupidity had finally fallen by the wayside and no more Siamese Mausers would be desecrated by this idiotic conversion. Then you tell us that you just had one made. :mad: Rimmed cartridges require a magazine designed with a slant and a follower which allows the cartridge to roll up under the rails and sit high enough for the bottom of the bolt to pick it up and move it into the feed ramp. Your rails are not fitted to hold the 2nd and 3rd cartridge down while letting the first peek up allowing it to be picked up by the bolt. Your description tells us that whoever did your conversion really had no idea what was needed but tried to fake his way through it. Here is the magazine in which Mr Nonte's article appeared. You can get a modern copy on CD/DVD to see if it helps you. [URL]https://www.wolfeoutdoorsports.com/rifle-single-issue-12-november-1970/[/URL] Mr. Nonte was a well respected retired Marine, who achieved fame through his writing, both books and magazine articles.
