[QUOTE="348 fan, post: 2371274, member: 113673"] Recentl, my aging uncle generously gifted some rifles to his nephews. I was blessed with a sporterized Siamese Mauser 45-70 out of his collection. I discovered the same issue with bullets popping up. I ended up polishing the magazine and follower everywhere I could and started using nickel plated cases. Now if I load the magazine carefully and correctly with 4 rounds and then look the 1st one into the claw and close it home....I can shoot 1 and cycle 2 more without error. When I eject the 3rd shot the 4th round in the magazine always pops out. I should say the last round always pops out because if I only loaded 2.....the 2nd and only round in the mag will pop out. I think the follower spring is strong and the weight of 2 and 3 shells keeps it from forcing multiple rounds out. So a 3 shot tac driver out to 200 yards or so with Hornady 325 gummy bullets is really impressive....and if my cul-de-sac happens to require a Rouge elephant to be dealt with....IM THE GUY! TRY MY TRICK WITH POLISHING AND NICKEL CASES. [/QUOTE]
