How to Angle the Magazine Follower of a Mauser 98 Bolt Action Rifle | MidwayUSA Gunsmithing
This video tutorial, presented by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA, demonstrates a gunsmithing technique for modifying the magazine follower of a Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle. The modification allows the bolt to close on an empty magazine, which is a common characteristic of many Mauser designs that prevents accidental dry-firing or chambering of a round when the magazine is depleted. The process focuses on angling the rear of the magazine follower to achieve this functionality.
