A neighbor gave me a semi sporterized 1917 Enfield to keep or sell. It's been neglected, but it is now cleaned up and operable. The question I have regards the magazine follower. It tips forward and therefore when I push the bolt forward on a empty magazine the bolt face hits the back of the follower. Of course, if you depress the follower with your finger the bolt moves forward. Is this the way this rifle was designed or has someone screwed up the follower?

Thanks,
Logger
