mrg455 6 Posted June 21, 2013 I'm anxious to here a range report with the new stocks. I've seen the stock for $300, have all you guys paid $200, or did some pay more? depending on how well they shoot, I might have to get one myself, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wweng 1 Posted June 21, 2013 I myself paid $199 Pre order plus $25 for the 10 round mag and with shipping came to $244. A little pricey on shipping considering the size and weight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recon Racoon 49 Posted June 22, 2013 Would it be possible to attach a rail to the bottom of the forearm, or would you have to drill and tap it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wweng 1 Posted June 23, 2013 There is several vent holes in the bottom. I don't know how well drilling and tapping would work. The stock is a poly carbon fiber blend. I changed the scope mount that i had in the picture to a side mount AK style and had to drill to attach that. It doesn't seem like the material would work that well being tapped and withstanding any kind of abuse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wweng 1 Posted June 23, 2013 Yes it is very solid. I used 2 2 1/2" 10-24 stainless screws with fiber nuts with flat washers. This is rock solid. I'll try to post a picture later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wweng 1 Posted June 23, 2013 Here is the new mount. It isn't pretty but is quite functional. The screws aren't centered do to the spaces in the stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recon Racoon 49 Posted June 24, 2013 Dude, that thing looks bad ass. If you had gone over the screws with like cold blue, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. If I get one, I might just do this. ETA: What kind of mount is it? Like what model? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wweng 1 Posted June 24, 2013 It is a New Durable QD Detach Steel side scope mount rail for AK. They are on ebay for $19.97 plus 4.97 shipping Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted June 26, 2013 Took about 10 minutes to swap the stuff over. The Mosin that I used for this had about 440 rounds through it so far. I thought it was clean, boy was I suprised with all the cosmoline I still had in it! I now see why people say to take the gun apart and clean EVERYTHING before you use it. Hopefully I can take it to the range and try it out soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted June 29, 2013 Ran perfect today. Going to order another one and get some 10 round mags now for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recon Racoon 49 Posted June 30, 2013 Ran perfect today. Going to order another one and get some 10 round mags now for them. I was watching some videos on youtube last week, and the 10 round mags barely worked at all. When they come in let us know if its all BS, or the mags are duds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted July 1, 2013 Ok, I will let you all know. The five rounds mags work fine most of the time. Twice we had a double feed issue, but not the end of the world. What is annoying is that if you load the mag and tip it sideways enough most of the rounds fall out! Kinda funny, but you learn quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicious 138 Posted July 5, 2013 Anyone looking to sell / trade (for my M44 furniture) their stock and handguards (no metal)? My stock has a splice in it and it bothers me. Now that some of you are tacticool, I figure you'd like to get rid of that extra wood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted July 6, 2013 Are you looking for the normal rifle length stuff or the carbine stuff? I should have two complete sets of rifle-length wood in the garage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wweng 1 Posted July 7, 2013 I finally got a chance to take mine to the range today. I had nothing but problems with the 5 round mag.It would not feed at all. I wound up single feeding 60 rounds threw it with the only other problem of the screws on the top rail for the scope coming loose. A little lock tight should cure that. I got the gun home and cleaned it and in the process I decided to put a little G96 cleaner in the mag . I then tried cycling rounds threw the mag and it worked fine. I have still not received my 10 round mag. It was still a fun day at the range despite the mag issues. The recoil was much less with the built in butt pad and the chin rest worked out very well. All in all I'm pleased. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaiser7 33 Posted July 7, 2013 Hmmm.... I usually hate when people mess with historic military firearms, but if it truly isn't a permanent alteration, then it's kosher in my book.But it actually looks pretty cool, and makes a $100 mosin look like some $1,000 crazy-accurate British sniper-rifle like thing.I think it would be kind of neat to throw one of those on, tell some non-gun people I have a super-duper-accurate-shooter. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peppers 1 Posted August 8, 2013 wow with a provision for a bipod, sporterize the barrel with a big break on it and may just have a sick survival rifle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted August 8, 2013 Oh yeah, a muzzle brake is next for two of my Mosins, just for the look! I have another archangel stock on order with two additional 10 round mags. The five round mag worked fine most of the time. I love to mess with these rifles because they are cheap and so is the ammo. There is a bulpup setup out now for the Mosin, that will be my next project. Need to find some more cheap Mosins somewhere to volunteer their guts and lose the ugly wooden stocks......

peppers 1 Posted August 14, 2013 Wweng is that just 1 mount you used? I looked it up on eBay but don't see any that look like that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted August 19, 2013 I was watching some videos on youtube last week, and the 10 round mags barely worked at all. When they come in let us know if its all BS, or the mags are duds. Finally got a chance to take the 10 round mags for a run, they were great, but, I only put 9 rounds in them. A 10th round would fit, but it was so darn hard to get in there I didn't bother. Maybe jamming that last round in there is what caused some people problems. Next time I go out I will have them loaded with 10 rounds. So far though, the stuff has been great! Have to build the second gun now and I want to put a muzzle brake on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M4BGRINGO 139 Posted August 19, 2013 It is a blast! Having 5 and 10 round mags makes these guns so much more fun. Check these guys out for some more Mosin goodness! http://www.cbrps.com/Products.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
