Re: Did Mossberg goof with the "bolt catch"?
Ok guys. I'm bumpin this thread back up to give you an update. I had a lot of free time today and decided to give this a try. I used a dremel to shave down the mag follower so that the bolt would not hold open on the last round. Now when i first did this, i only took plastic off of the rear of the follower only (at about 45 deg) so that the bolt would hopefully slide right over and force the follower back down. That didn't work. THe bolt would literally dig in to the plastic forcing the follower forward instead of down. So i had to take a nice chunk out of the whole thing and smoothen the rear real nice so that it would gradually level off at the top before it would finally work. It took me a while to get it right and I was about to quit half way through but I am glad I didnt. I am pretty happy with the results. I attached some pics and vids. Check it out. Let me know if you have any questions.
