This is not my problem... but rather a problem of a friend of mine who is not on this forum.
He has a Krag that he is working on, and the bolt won't pick up the last round in the magazine. I believe it could be a problem with the follower or flat spring, but I'm not sure and I don't have direct access to the rifle, as he lives a couple hours from me.
I'm looking for some advice that I can pass on to him.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Magazine problem
Clean it, check to see the follower isn't hitting the top of the magazine. 22018 does not feed the last one with a certain spring, put a slightly stronger spring in, which makes the magazine a bit harder to open, and it feeds that last round fine.
Re: Magazine problem
This may be a long shot, if someone was having trouble feeding nonstandard rounds before they may have modified the follower by grinding/polishing off the top part. If so it would keep the last round from lifting into position.
