303 mag repair

[Hecklerusp45]

I have a Long Branch that has a mag problem. The last two rounds almost always fail to feed correctly. I think it may need a new spring. The only thing is the mag is one solid piece and has no floor plate. So the question is how do I get the follower and spring out? Anyone out there willing to share your knowledge?

Push the rear of the follower down into the magazine. Grasp the front end of the follower and wiggle/twist out.

Look at the lips before you spend money on another spring. Follower comes out just like Bonnie says. No force is required. Gunparts is listing mag springs at $4.75 each.
