How do you remove the follower button?

beangado · 04-23-2011, 01:06 AM

Just bought my first P08, an all matching Simson VOPO from about 1930. It is in very good shape, however the magazine follower snags on something about half way down the magazine which causes stovepiping if I load more then3 cartridges into the magazine. I do not believe it is a spring problem. I can feel the follower snag when the spring is removed. I have disassembled the magazine and cannot see anything obviously wrong. I cannot figure out how to take the follower out. Can someone tell me how to remove the follower button? Does it screw out, is it pressed in?
