I have a question.
I recently bought another Mauser in 22-250
I plan to add a filler in the back of the mag well.
Where would I find a short action spring and follower for this project?
Could I cut down the factory follower?

So are working with either a Rechambered action or Re-barreled?  Mag well is likely for an older 7 or 8mm?

I own a Spanish Laguardia Rechamber to 7.62 x 51(.308), does not appreciate some projectile styles, Round Nosed especially.  Bolt throw at times will also eject a new or next cartridge rather than feed it.

Yes it’s an old WW2 98 large ring Mauser.
iOS been rebarreled to the 22-250
I ordered a magazine filler to shorten the depth(front to rear) of the mag well. I’m looking for a shorter spring and follower which are also shorter front to rear. The filler goes in the rear of the mag well.

Seems like you will need a different ejector as well to deal with the shorter brass.

Lots of good info in the gunsmithing section at www.castboolits.com

I’ve had some extra time this weekend with the weather. I’ve done a lot of reading and studying on how to make this ole Mauser feed 22-250.
I set it up ion the bench with lots of light and a head lamp to watch just what was happening.
I noticed the front of the follower would hang up and not popping all the way up. I removed the follower and gave the sides a good cleaning and a quick polishing. Put it back together and it still hung up. I pulled it apart again and dropped the follower. This time the spring fell out of the follower. I didn’t know which end went where but I put it back together. This time the follower was pushed back from the feed ramps about a quarter inch. I pushed it forward but it kept resting 1/4” back. I switched the spring around and it held the follower forward like it was and still kept hanging up.
I went to the safe and grabbed my 25-06 which is built off the same action. I looked in there and the follower sets back about a quarter of an inch. I swapped the spring around again and the follower set back 1/4”
I soaked 3 rounds and it cycled perfect. Tried it several more tries and not one makfunction.
