Title: Schnellfeuer magazine problem
Post by: broomie on December 14, 2015, 11:28:48 AM
Hi everyone,
I would be eternally grateful if someone could offer any advice on the problem I have with an early Schnellfeuer of the Westinger variant. The problem is I cannot insert the mag fully into place unless the bolt is racked back ? At the moment the mag goes in but leaves about 1/4" sticking out of the mag well ? This happens to ALL the Schnellfeuer mags I've tried, 10 or 20 round mags all have the same problem  >:( It's very frustrating, please can anyone help ? Thanks in advance.
