Bought a 1903 Turkish Mauser

That plunger is just the mag retainer, it should move. It will after this. Looks like they broke the spring and cobbled it back together...you'll need to source a replacement...a WTB on this forum will likely find something suitable.

A replacement for the follower spring? Oddly enough, I put the gun back together and it works fine now... Loads and everything with no problem. My guess is it wasn't getting caught on some grease/rust...

And if you're talking about the pin you usually push in to release the mag, then it's not broken. I just punched it out from the top side. The cross pin keeps it from going to low or high.
