Re: Mag follower
You didn't say which cartridge you are working with but I suspect that it is the wrong dimensions. Probably the nose is wrong, longer to accomodiate the thicker receiver of the 1894. See The Smith Shop.
I actually bought this follower off of eBay and it did not work.

Re: Mag follower
I agree on the the smith shop as I got him to make the first one for me however another that I contacted first is also making them now the http://beartoothmercantile-2.myshopify. ... -steel-357. Now with that said they are for the 45-70 only but the smith shop will make them for you based on either your measurements of the existing follower or sending it to him.Ranch Dog wrote:You didn't say which cartridge you are working with but I suspect that it is the wrong dimensions.

Sorry I should of been a bit clearer on the smith shop as that is for a custom made follower in another caliber he would make them.Ranch Dog wrote:The Smith Shop does carry RG4570 SS followers and they have come down in price.

You might want to compare prices to include the shipping.rich9347 wrote:Steve's Gunz has the followers for all rossi 92's and one for Marlin's except 45/70.

I sure can't recommend doing business with him based on my experience.

Re: Mag follower
Kind of why I wanted to go to another source. 10.00 for shipping something like this is crazy let along the 20.00 price. I might ask one of the guys in the shop to make one on the lathe and see what the cost is..
