Hi Frederik and welcome to the forum.

It looks like the magazine may have a dent in it along the lower area in your last picture. If this is so, don't attempt to fix it yourself. We have a member here that can recondition it for you using the proper tools. It would involve shipment to the US.

It's always better to use a more modern magazine for actual shooting, as the wood based ones are prone to breakage. Consider a fxo / East German Thalmann magazine (milled welded steel construction) or a new one.

Use only standard power ammunition. No +P or military surplus NATO power stuff. Winchester white box or something similar works well. Remmington generally doesn't.
