Yes, both 7x57. The Mauser is a Zastava (same as Mark X/Daly/etc) and the other is a M70 of new (SC) manufacture. My Montana Rifle Company ASR (7x57) doesn't do this, nor does an older M70 FWT (pushfeed). I may just put a strip of duct tape on the follower to keep the cartridges from sliding around. As I said, they all feed flawlessly; this is just more of an annoyance than anything.


"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
