    ljungman mag

    As there is no Swedishicon section, this seems the appropriate place to ask.......can the follower in a ljungman ( I think thats how you spell it ) be removed without destroying anything ?? I have removed the base plate and follower spring but can't see how to get the follower out.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It should turn to the side and flop out...you may be trying too hard...did you try just shaking the empty stripped mag?

    ....too neat a fit for that,the follower has a "leg" fore and aft in the mag body so it can't be tilted, it runs up and down in guides in the box. It looks like a rivet is what stops it from falling out.

    So I was thinking after about it wondered why you need to take it completely out? You can clean inside and out with all these parts removed so...why worry about it? Clean and oil with it in place.

    Thanks anyway Jim, theres a protrusion on the side of the follower that limits travel both up and down.This doesn't matter any more.

    I'm actually cutting the mag in half to make a " trench " mag for an M96, and I was hoping to remove the follower before cutting but I'll just slide it down out of the way.

    The mag is one of several I have and has damaged feed lips, so no great loss.
