i would be willing to pay if anyone can do or make a convo kit for the mosin.

emcon5 · May 29, 2011, 05:03 PM

You mean besides Datamancer?

Put your name on his mailing list, he has had these in work for a while.

customaquatics · May 30, 2011, 06:54 AM

i did like months ago an i have even emailed him an no response.

jhenry · May 30, 2011, 07:02 AM

That thing looks uncomfortable to carry, awkward and pointless. They will probably sell like hotcakes.

customaquatics · May 30, 2011, 07:38 AM

i was doin the monte carlo conversion with a bipod an x50 scope so i would like to have the 10 round mag. his youtube has people going nuts over wanting this kit.

argyle1812 · May 31, 2011, 11:30 PM

lol i love beatin ricers in my old sleeper taurus an my new 07 grand prix GT supercharged

Datamancer · June 1, 2011, 12:25 PM

Have patience. The mags are being worked on and will be ready for sale in the future and you can buy as many as your heart desires.

My apologies if I didn't respond to your email, but I've been getting about 10 per day from people and finally just gave up responding to them all.

*COUGH*COUGH*sks*COUGH*!

Whew, that was a bad one...

I never thought of a way to get the Mosin-Nagant to feed out of the box, but hey...

MagnumWill · June 1, 2011, 07:15 PM

Oh... no modifications needed?

Nevermind, that's kind of neat

There's actually a LOT of neat stuff! I like the keyboards!

Datamancer · June 1, 2011, 08:09 PM

Thanks, yeah I was going for a "bubba-free" sort of add-on device with this one. I do have some designs for a custom trigger guard that will let you accept larger mags, but that'll be an entirely separate product that would require a custom stock or a lot of modification to the original.

customaquatics · June 2, 2011, 12:02 PM

umm cough cough sks? but i like my bigger round

Datamancer · June 2, 2011, 01:09 PM

I actually posted a message on the mailing list a week or two back with a link to a range video of the mag in action.

I have seen many updates from the first "ugly" prototype the the nice looking one he has now. He has asked at another website I am a member of, about specs of many Mosin magazines, the guy is doing his homework! Be patient!

emcon5 · November 28, 2013, 10:25 AM

I know this is a pretty old thread, but bad news about the project.

Richard Nagy, aka Datamancer, died in a car crash last week.

He didn't just do cool things with guns, he made a lot of amazing custom stuff in the Steampunk style. Laptops, Keyboards and even jewelry.

Do a Google image search for Datamancer, you will see a lot more. The guy was quite an artist.

RIP Datamancer.

tahunua001 · November 28, 2013, 10:38 AM

well there goes my extended mags...

No such thing!
Any of the Bubba mods negate the Curio and Relic (C&R) status of these fine old milsurp rifles.
Why in the first place would It be important to have a 10 round magazine. It's not some sort of rapid fire autoloader. Besides, It only takes a second or to to dump in a 5 round stripper clip if you're in that big of a hurry.

Dude. You are berating a dead guy. Look 2 posts above yours.

Datamancer's design was pretty clever, it did no permanent modifications to the rifle, and was easily reversible.

Cheapshooter · November 28, 2013, 02:17 PM

Not berating anyone dead or alive. Just the idea of bubba'ed up C&R milsurps.
It was my negligence to overlook that this was an update on the subject of an old thread passing.

James K · November 29, 2013, 05:46 PM

Sorry to hear about Nagy's death. But if I wanted a large capacity magazine for a bolt action, I think I would start with a .308 Mauser and adapt it to FAL or M14 magazines. A better rifle, a lot less work, and available magazines.

Jim

Lead shooter · November 30, 2013, 09:39 PM

If you want Hi cap bolt action, get the repro trench mag for the Mauser 98.

Like this, 20 rounds.

kilimanjaro · November 30, 2013, 10:44 PM

If you need high-capacity magazines, you need semi-auto feed, not a bolt action.

tahunua001 · December 1, 2013, 01:32 AM

pretty sure that the millions of soldiers issued enfields would disagree with you wholeheartedly.

skizzums · December 12, 2013, 06:18 PM

you know you could just do the archangel stock for 150$ and get a 10round detachable mag included, if you really want one

http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...s_id/711016440

i dont know the consensus is on these things, but a co-worker has one and it works well, the mag has a hangup every three or four loads, poss due to surplus, i really kinda want one, but i think mosins are so pretty in original furniture
