Richard alerts us to a gentleman who has made a ten round magazine for a Mosin-Nagant rifle.
The finished product looks pretty darn good, and it appears as though it doesn't permanently modify the rifle. Now, personally, I prefer the five round magazine - because it gives my shoulder a little more time to recuperate between shots. I'm also pretty certain that this will result in an arm's race of sorts (especially if Wally sees this) which will result in Mosin-Nagants with ever-increasing magazine capacity until we see a 50-round magazine that doubles as a standing shooting rest...
It's a pretty amazing bit of engineering, though, and certainly worth a look!
That is all.

Hmn. I'm not sure it is worth it. Unless that was a challenge, in which case I would expect to be able to mate a 20-rd bren mag :)

I thought the 2x4 was to work the bolt. Reloading is a welcome break from trying to cycle that thing.
Nice metalwork (and I've been admiring the guy's steampunk creations for a while) but if I really need ten rounds of 7.62x54 I'll use my PSL. Or buy another Mosin.
When you live in a state with a ten-round limit you go to the limit, I hear New Jersey has a 15-round limit.

On the other hand, more weight == less perceived recoil.
Things like this will just cause a bigger bruise and a broader grin.
