This is in regard to the OP's question, An old Gunsmith named "Reid Coffield" Built a mosin sporter with a flush magazine, It was in the gun rags. He did a nice job, He also moved the bolt handle rearward which I have also done. I am building a Mosin in 7x65R right now and I am going to have to figure out how to get it to feed or have to settle on a single shot. My 30-40 Krag ackley mosin was a little tough to get it to feed but I did manage to get it feeding well though.
