I have a Isreali K-98, when chambering a single round out of the magazine box it will pick the round up everytime, but when I have more than one round in the magazine box the bolt will just go over the round and not pick it out,( Esp. when the top shell is staggerd on the left side of the magazine. I have cleaned out the box of any grease and tried to stretch the magazine spring abit, and did not help much, any idea's out there of what I could try,

PS This rifle sure can shoot! Nice rifle.

Had the same problem withone of my Lee enfields, make sue the lips that hold the shells in aren't bent improperly, not sure how a k98 looks in there, but this could be the problem.
 
Thanks Skippy ! but these don't have a clip per say, and I know what your talking about the Enfields, but these just have a box magazine and cannot be removed, nothing looks out of place looks like the right follower in the rifle, maybe the spring is to lite or something? Maybe someone will know !

It might be that the spring or follower is out of place; on these, the mag spring slides in and locks into tabs on the bottom of the follower and on the top of the floorplate (you'd need to take the action out of the wood to take a look at them. Other than a bent follower or dinged feedlips, I can't think of what else might be causing it.
