So I ran my M76 today for the first time, it ran 100%. The issue I had was the mag. all 10 rounds fed and fired. The problem was the feedplate was nose down every single time mag ran out. Is this normal?
Welcome to the M76 nose-divers club. Hurry up and get strung up to this thread.
Yo You Want M76 Mag Followers? . Several have dropped off over FOURTEEN MONTHS but maybe if this fellow (TurboThis) sees more of us wanting followers he'll finish engineering a solution for us.
No easy solution my friend. Count rounds and reload after eight?
Yup, get used to it.
I drop the mag before the final round.
The only solution i know is to buy a Mitchell Arms Import !!

It's not a rifle issue, it's a design flaw in the magazine. The Yugoslavian army had the same problem.
