I just checked, the bolt does close over the follower when empty. Compared it to a friend's mauser, and it looks like my follower has been filed, as it has a bevel on the back of the follower.
Also noticed that his follower fits a lot more snugly in the bottom metal. mine has a bit of side to side, which I thought was normal because I work on mosins, which rattle.
Does anyone have measurements, length and width, for a spanish 93 mauser follower?
I think that may be the problem, but don't want to start blindly throwing money at it by buying parts.
Also, measurements of feed lips on the receiver?
I'm starting to suspect it may have been messed with.
