Wingun mosin nagant

[MarsdenH]

Just spotted this.  Never heard of this model before.

If extra mags are available this might be a viable option over the PPS series currently.  Only downside is that it is listed as not having a hop-up.

"Hop up: NA"

 

How long have they been making guns now?

[Crying Scum]

So...they took the technology of their revolvers in hop up department (none) and slap it into a rifle! Another missed opportunity. 

[scorch]

Wingun are the most frustrating manufacturer ever. 

 

Full metal shell fed revolver series? No hop.

 

Full metal gas powered Mosin? No hop and fake wood.

 

 

Seriously. So close to being a real seller, and yet so far.

Another pointless gun. If ACM manufacturers have the time to set up machining for this monstrosity, how about something people actually want like a Lee Enfield.

 

No hop? Convenient, removable 12rd mag? Seriously?

[Brigg]

Honestly the Mosin Nagant probably has more market share then Enfield just due to sheer commonality.

 

Now, as far as hopup goes.. I might try getting one of these. Ive made custom hopups for several of their revolvers (The standard dan wsoon type, Nagant, and Webley). And i really cant imagine this being so different that I couldnt do one for this too..

 

Plus i like the fake wood. I hate real wood on guns if im going to skirmish them.

*bangs head against wall* damnit win gun, just fit hop up mechs, it isn't new or complex technology, EVERYONE else fits it as standard to pretty much all their RIFs. I know we can do it ourselves but why should we even need to?!

Full metal gas powered Mosin? No hop and fake wood.

 

I reckon they don't bother putting wood on the guns because they know they can't make it as cheap as the Russians did more than half a century ago. The days of a $75 surplus Mosin Nagant are probably gone, but a complete wood set for these rifles is still laughably cheap - $40 for an M91, and $85 for an M44. The hop-up issue is less forgivable, though, I agree.

You know what? On that basis I retract my gripe about the wood. I'd rather fit real wood if it's easily available and fits.

Frontowiec.com have M44 stock sets for about £41. It is interesting that WG are doing bolt action rifles, even if they don't think hop up is expected. I wonder how they will function?

[renegadecow]

Win Gun is the epitome of half-assedry. They started off with a revolver that doesn't exist then stick all sorts of trades (Dan Wesson, Ruger, etc.) on it. With all their tooling they still can't even bodge in a hop up which can be done, if you're desperate enough, with as little as a file, plumbing tape and hot glue. And I'm willing to bet this still has a crappy *albatross* aluminum barrel, I mean even the cheapest ACMs now are able to put in meh brass ones.

I'm more interested in seeing what can be done with it. From what I understand most gas and c02 bolt actions are kind of poo, owing to just plain bad hopup design.

 

Knowing what the average chamber on a WG looks like, its kind of like a blank slate to make something that sucks a bit less. Though, some WG auto pistols have hopups that just kinda look like square bushings so it entirely possible this one does in fact have a fixed hopup already.(The m84 is like this, for example).

 

So now I'm kind of on the fence, its cheap enough to pick one up as a potential fun project. But, on the other hand, there's other things I want too..

 

Maybe it's just me, but I kinda think its too bad they didn't stick with the Obrez type they were already making as a BB gun, and which this is obviously an adaptation of

The PPS k98 is pretty good. Uses a VSR style hop, green or C02 in the mags.
