so ever since i got my savage 12fvss with it's oh so annoying centerfeed blind mag, i've been on the hunt for a single shot follower. i only know of one (SSS), and they don't ship to canada. (if you can get your hands on one, lemme know)
so after some reading on various forums of what others have tried, i came up with this.
yes, it's a playing card and some electrical tape. yes that's how much i hate trying to hand feed the tip of a .223 round into the barrel. so this one was just a function test, and it worked great.
the following is after i cleaned it up a bit, and put it back in the stock. as a side note, after the redo, the hole in the casino card was at the perfect wrong spot, and was causing balistic tipped rounds to jam on the barrel edge. small piece of e-tape solved it.
i know it's not pretty, but it works, and will do till i try my hand at bedding. i'll have it out tommorow to send some rounds down range, see if accuracy has changed any.
