Most Mauser rifles are designed with magazine followers that prevent the bolt from closing once the magazine is empty. In this GunTec presentation Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, demonstrates the process for angling the rear of the magazine so the bolt will close on an empty magazine.

  • Yeah, it seems to be a catchphrase. And it seems to work far better than a lot of other ones out there. I don't see how it doesn't work, since that IS the way it is.

  • Neat.

  • a coarse file - that would be a bastard!

  • or, use a disc sander...and thats the way it is

  • @Rektek23 My thoughts exactly. Not only that, but if you ever needed to use the rifle in a hastey situation, it tells you it's time to reload.

  • What are you talking about? The new music is awesome! The safari rifle music is cool too!

  • I would only make mods to original rifles if I intend to never resell the rifle. I wouldn't want a mutilated piece of history floating on the open market at a decreased value because of my modifications. The lower the value the more likely it will become further butchered. Respect the rifle as it is!

  • I agree. I don't know why people are thumbing you down. Larry is awesome but the people in charge of these videos aren't.

  • Having the bolt stay open with an empty mag is a great feature on a battle rifle, helps keep you alive in combat. The 1903 Springfield has a switch that allows the bolt to ride over the follower without hacking off the follower end, an improvement to the Mauser.

    If your old enfield or mauser will never see combat again you can make it smoother by this process. The follower stop can mar and scratch the bolt face. If you feel you may use your old rifle in a combat situation, leave it alone.

  • Works better than the lame new music. So annoying. Stop using it pretty please?

  • "that's the way it is" is that supposed to be a catchphrase? it doesn't work.
