Ankara 1903 Feeding Problem

[Blackhand]

Recently bought a 1903 Ankara long rifle with a 1934 receiver upgrade which converted it to 8mm Mauser. The rifle has a rough appearance but shoots fine with one exception. With soft points there is no issue, but using surplus rounds especially, the tip of the bullet gets stuck under the front of the magazine and can't slide up. It only happens to non soft points because they're just a tiny bit longer. Is this a problem with the conversion? or is it something that can be fixed? I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem, so it could just be the rough shape of the rifle
