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

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
