    Phil,

    Maybe get a new spring from Billricca.com, if he doesn't have one Popperts does, and it might be an M1917 spring but it will work. Bill is a member here and only sells G.I. parts. Get a new spring, that would be the best first thing to do. Cheap part. Got any photos of your rifle?

    Second that, and one other thing, I noticed on my 1903s, one of the followers is slightly different from the other. No pics on hand, but it might be something to look at. But generally, a weak spring is what causes last round feed problems.
