I just purchased a Russian re-work K98 and there seems to be a problem with the magazine. In order to get the first round into the magazine, I have to depress the follower with my left hand while loading the round with the right hand. The first round won't just snap in like the other rounds will.
Also, when you move the bolt forward from the rearmost position, the bottom of the bolt face hits the magazine follower. This is only an issue when it's unloaded.
Any suggestions on a fix? Thanks in advance.
