No, but 4 years ago after I posted this my dad and I ended up making one on my lathe, and after some trial and error got it working. I don't have the gun anymore, nor do I have dimensions on the follower.

If anyone is interested, here are the plans for the reverse engineered follower. We added a dimple to the center of the follower to make it a little easier to load.

Yep, it's working. We ended up twisting the spring on a rod a bit to narrow the OD and it works pretty well now. I'm guessing your spring may be weak and the plug was added to stiffen it up some.

Either way, I'm all set now. Thank you for your help, it was invaluable.

Yeah, even with barely any starting compression it still binds. I've had real bad luck with numerich lately. The spring was listed as a "super spring" so I think it's some one size fits all replacement spring. I'll have to mic it in the morning and see what gauge it is.

Interesting, I didn't realize there was a wood plug in there. Numerich sent me a super spring about 3 feet long, and I'm sure it's the wrong part. What are the dimensions on the spring? I think the main problem I've been having is that as the spring compresses it becomes wider than the diameter of ...

Thanks guys. Noel, specific dimensions would help a great deal. This gun is in .30 Rem. Also, how much spring pressure is there on the follower? We got a pretty generic spring from numerich, that I'm pretty sure is a one size fits all deal that we're going to need to cut.

Beautiful!

My dad just finished making a model 14 follower on my lathe. We didn't have exact dimensions to work from, so we did the best we could. It feels like it's hanging up after 3 rounds are in the tube.

It looks like it should hold way more than 3 rounds in the tube, maybe 4 or 5?

If I load one, and ...

Thanks guys.

My model 14 is missing a follower. I have the spring now, but can't seem to find a follower anywhere. Can someone post the dimensions of the follower and possibly a picture of it? I can make one on my lathe for now until I find one. Is it brass or steel?

Thanks

Moondoggy, The 1910 patent dated barrel would be from the same period as the receiver, both used on the first year of production guns. The ammo indicator looks like the third type which dates to approx. 1915 - 1920, so it was replaced sometime after 1915. You were given several suggestions how to ...

The barrel patent ends with 1910. Between the magazine and the barrel just in front of the receiver the barrel is marked:

Y
52


Thanks guys.

I appreciate the info, thanks.

Here are some quick pictures of the rifle in question.

424XX translates to about August 1920. Looks like a very nice example of a metal buttplate model 8. Show it off here http://thegreatmdl8.proboards79.com/
Maintenance guides can be found on ebay.

I did show it off there :D Noone answered my dating question. Just curious, where did you get your ...
