Bolo magazine jam

(1/2) > >>

skizzer:
Howdy,
New to the forum and I have a late postwar Bolo that's failing to feed about 75 % of the time.  The magazine follower is jamming near the bottom of the mag, maybe 1/3 of the way up from the bottom.  I can't see any burr or obstruction in there and have disassembled the follower and spring, cleaning and oiling both.  Doesn't seem to help. 


Any suggestions?  Do I need to polish the follower, or should I try to replace it and the spring.  I suppose this is not an uncommon problem, so I would appreciate a referral to any old post that covers the issue.  Appreciate any help.


Thanks.

A new spring is a good idea. You may also want to try a thicker lube than oil, like a grease.

Regards,

skizzer:
OK, I noticed that the spring seemed to cant to one side when reinstalled, rather than going straight up.  Any suggestions on a source?  Looks like Numrich has them.


Thanks for the help.

skizzer:
Will also try the grease.

1914mauser:
Wolf springs is where Numrich gets their springs. I would go to the source Wolfsprings.com

Regards,
