That is BA! Would you mind sharing details on how you did that? I would really like to do that for my Mosin as well now.

Ok. Step by step.

I took the action out of the stock, removed the original Mosin Magazine.
I put the Archangel magazine where it needed to sit on the action then traced it with a sharpie.


I reattached the bottom metal to the Mosin action.
I transferred the marks on the action to the bottom metal.

I put the stock back on the rifle and then transferred the marks on the bottom metal to the stock.

I removed the stock from the rifle and I placed the Archangel magazine between the marks on the stock, I then traced the magazine with a sharpie where I needed to open the mag well.

I removed the bottom metal from the rifle.
I cut the bottom metal into two pieces where the receiver bolts through the stock to the front and rear of the bottom metal.

I then re attached the trigger portion of the bottom metal to the Mosin action.
I placed the Archangel magazine along side the trigger guard and marked where the catch tab is on the magazine.

I ground a notch in the trigger guard portion corresponding to the tab on the back of the Archangel mag.
The notched trigger guard holds the magazine in place.

I used a Fein saw and a Dremel to remove the wood where the new wider magazine needed to go.

I reassembled the rifle.

Note.
The magazine has a wire that is used to retain the cartridges when it is not inserted into the archangel stock, I'm making it a fixed mag for now so I don't need it, I took it off.
I had to remove a small amount of material near the interrupter on the magazine and on the follower where it was rubbing.

I found the mag will hold 11 rounds unless some of the space in the mag is filled in.
I riveted the floor plate in place to avoid being hassled in the future.

Thanks. I am going to order a mag and try that out. Also looking forward to your fabrication of a mag release version too.

I swear the ingenuity of people like you is amazing. I love it.

Aha, it works! Cool stuff!

My one question; are you wearing glasses and have goggles on your forehead?

Because if you do you may want to see your doctor, there aren't supposed to be eyes up there

Lol, yeah I grabbed the wrong pair, they were too scuffed up to see through.
