I need a picture or an explanation on a 12BVSS

I posted earlier but am not sure i really did figure this out. If someone has a 12BVSS in .223 I need either a pic of the follower in the blind mag. Does the long ramp point forward or rearward? I'm still not sure i replaced the blind mag in correctly. Does the bolt contact the long ramp or the short ramp first when chamfering a round?

Thanks....

The long ramp I believe.

Thanks jonbearman. That's the way I have it in now, the bolt contacts the long bevel first. I didn't think it could be put on backwards, but if I have a 1:700,000,000 chance of winning the lottery I wouldn't, but if I have a 1:700,000,000 chance of putting someting in backwards I'll win every time! Funny how that works.

I shimmed up the spring under the follower and it now appears to be working. Thanks for the reply. Guess it just needed a little more push into the bolt.

You must be mathematically challenged.....there was a 50-50 chance you had it correct.

I know sharpshooter, it's one of the quirks of nature. A 50 / 50 chance always ends up wrong 100% of the time! Just like dropping a spring immediately sends it into an alternate universe, never to be seen again!
