Hey I have several of these and looking for some advice. I have got quite used to being able drop ammo from my normal sporting rifles (mauser, winchester and remington), as they all have a button or such that can be pushed to drop the floorplate.
I have several BSA modified P14s that still have the original method of using the point of a bullet to do this.
I do have Roy Dunlap's book and it mentions a modification but I'm not really picturing what he is suggesting.
Dont want anything too major but they arent quite the same as a Mauser. I could knock one of those stud types up easy-peasy.
Picture of the 25-303 for reference. It has a rectangular slot and I suppose that could be extended.
Something from the memory banks tells me I read something years ago but cant seem to find what i was thinking about online
happy new year and cheers
