How to expand the magazine capacity from 4 to 5 rounds?

[Steffen Jobst]

Hi,
I have a 1980 Winchester M-70.
It was converted from 30.06 to .308.
I would like to expand the magazine capacity from 4 to 5 rounds.
I have the problem, that it does not repeat round 4 correctly and round 5 does not fit.
Can someone tell me what part I need for this?
A short action magazine follower?
Another magazine spring?
Another magazine box?
Do I have to change something on the stock or will another magazine box also fit?


It would be nice if you could tell me the right part numbers or a link to an Ebay or other online offer.
Thank you very much.

That looks to me like a sled was made to replace the original follower - to make single loading easier. I suspect a new follower will fix the issue for you.

Try these folks, but check with them that the part will fit https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/U353600800

Beautiful stock.

You need a 308 "ADL" magazinebox with a spacer in the rear.
This will stack the 5 "square" 308 rounds in the forward part of the magazine.
You'll also need a short 308 follower.

Thanks, I will try to find one.
