First topic message reminder :

I read that the 52-2 is most accurate / effective at only up to 25 yards ? Reasons ?
Is this gun collectible today?
Why not make a magazine that can hold 10 ammo instead of 5 ? Won't that be easy enough to make?
Why is the manufacture date so difficult to find even with the serial numbers?

Saw this on GoonBroker. Note how the slot has been extended below the hole to remove the follower pin.

Try this first. Remove the base and follower pin. Now insert six cartridges and push the spring back into the magazine to see if the spring will clear. Do not insert the follower pin at this point. You are merely checking to see if six cartridges can be inserted.

Cheers,

Dave

Yes the slot can be extended to accommodate 6 rounds and many 52 magazines have had this modification done by a competent gun smith who would mill the slot longer so the follower could compress farther into the magazine to accept 6 rounds.
When I shot PPC with a M52 this was a standard modification to the mags.
