Dear Fellow Members-My third Turk Mauser has one of the newer "FAT" stocks on it.It appears to be a Beech stock.When I loaded Turk or Yugo 8mm,occasionally a bullet will hit the mag well forward wall below the feed ramp and not feed into the chamber.I replaced with a new mag spring but no improvement.The Romanian ammo works fine,I guess because the lacquered cases are slippier than the brass cases.Another collector told me that the forward inletting of the trigger guard might need more wood removed around the forward action screw.He told me to remove the action from the stock and bolt together and cycle some rounds.If it cycles fine with these rounds,then I should remove a little inletting around the forward action screw.Still,this removal must be a minute amount,as the mag well is NOT supposed to touch the receiver,correct?If it does ,you run the risk of having the action loosen in the future,correct?Thanx for any info,as this one has me stymied!-Gearhead
