new member and 1903 magazine question
Hi, I'm a new member in Seattle. I collect some of the war rifles and am member of Wash. Arms Collector. I like shooting rocks in our local gravel pit. I recently bought a 1903 03-A3 Remington made in about 1944 and had trouble loading ammo. The rounds wouldn't go down in the magazine very smoothly. I looked and noticed there is an indent in the magazine on the left side that the follower hits when trying to load it. I can move the follower to the right and it will load okay. No problem on feeding. Then I went to remove the magazine and discovered an issue with the forward screw. When I turn it left to loosen it loosens for 90 degrees and then re-tightens and won't come out. What's with that. Your efforts replying are greatly appreciated.
