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.
