My new rifle is a No5Mk1 9/1946 ROF(F). It has cleaned up very nicely. (no bubbaing, just cleaning). It is surprisingly accurate with my reloads. (314299 WW over 18.4g of 2400 in Rem cases with CCI#200 and COL of 2.930)
The original magazine did not feed cases at all. The spring seems weak and the magazine box appears to be bent not allowing the follower to glide the cartridges up correctly.
I ordered a new No4 magazine from Springfield Sporters. It appears to be new unissued and was covered in cosmolineicon. After a serious US cleaning it replaced it's predecessor. Now I have a new feeding problem. To get the cartridge to present to the bolt for insertion I need to bump the base of the magazine with a sturdy thump via the palm of my hand.

Suggestions please! Will a new spring fix it?
