[QUOTE="Siggy32, post: 2276480, member: 9815"] jbeck, I taped a popsicle stick to the left side of the follower (Shell holder) which pushes the complete follower to the right & keeps the shells under the sides (lips) of the action at the top of the magazine box. You may need to adjust the size of the piece of wood till the follower is far enough to the right to hold the shells under the lips & prevents them from popping up out of the magazine box wildly into the action. Once you have the correct size make a piece of metal stock the same width then weld that piece to the side of the follower, see my photos. You are just installing a spacer on the left side to keep the follower pushed to the right to hold the shells under the action ramps or lips. Once you find the correct size any welder at a machine shop can do the welding for you. As you can see mine wasn't the prettiest but it functions. The other thing is to polish the feed ramp on the front of the magazine box so the point of the bullet slides forward more smoothly vs. trying to jump a curb per say. Make it match the dimple or ramp on the action so it is a smooth push up the ramp forward vs. binding or running into a wall. [/QUOTE]
