This question was in the last magazine i got.Ihave a m1895 mauser rebarreled to .243 shoots good but does not feed

due to difference in shoulder diameters from7x57 and .243.Is there aguide or formula for redoing the bottom of the receiver. AGA response. What you have in mind is considered remanufacturing by ATF since it involves the receiver. Unless you have a manufacture's ffl don't attempt it. This is the first i have heard of this, hope i ain't in trouble.

a. The AGA response is baloney.

b. You didn't ask, but the model 95 action is not well-suited to the .243 cartridge from a strength standpoint, let alone the rail issues. You can likely help the feeding by grinding the lower quarter of the extractor claw away.
