Knex Mosin Nagant

Hello, and welcome to my Instructable on how to create a Mosin Nagant out of K'nex.
This gun is a slingshot type gun.

...And well yeah, it kind of bends but it took me a day to build :P
So time to...BEGIN!

Step 1 Make The Barrel

Look at the pictures, and read the notes please.

[Reiben]

[Reiben]

check out my WWII knex gun fourm, this is in it and ive made it into a bolt action mech

[slipdiddy101]

A day? thats it?! when i build guns, its takes me 1-3 weeks or more to fine tune every thing! :P lol

hmmm...

got any idea what it stopped on?

because of the length of the fake barrel, you need a lot of power and good rubberbands... otherwise any bullet would catch on that length...

Might I make a suggestion? Do not, I repeat, do not use rubber bands. They are weak, they break, and they are awkwardly placed in just about any K-nex configuration. I suggest you use springs, they are much more powerful and I would imagine that they would be much easier to configure into a bolt action system.

[barrax]

im afraid your wrong there

i made a spring powered gun, and the spring is too powerful to hold back with anything but a block trigger.

and a spring that was any weaker would not have gotten good range.

[chuck norris]

An interesting point.
Might I ask, however, What type of spring did you use?
Was it something from an airsoft spring rifle, or was it a compilation of pen springs?
I managed to make a simple spring gun that could send a throwing dart almost sixty feet. I may have to reconfigure the bolt system for the sake of the shooter's comfort, but it works and it's spring powered.
All I am saying is that rubber bands are not very reliable after attempting to fashion a few kNex guns myself. I believe that springs are more reliable and can be applied to a kNex medium much easier than a band could. 
What are your thoughts?
 

[barrax]

uuh the spring i used wasn't a small pen type spring...

it was pretty strong and prolly something you'd find in an airsoft gun, though i don't really have any myself...

[smithinator]

HEY!!! you copied my barrel and body design........

[Kush_Slayer]

kinda nice but the angle on the magazine part in front of the trigger is too steep also mosin nagants are nice guns, ive held one at a local gun store and almost bought one you also forgot the foot long bayonet

[345138]

First off, the picture I built off of (both) did not have a bayonet so I decided not to bother, and the magazine part? I dont really know what you mean by that but okay, and has anyone made this yet? And thanks for favoriting it.

[aksmak1]

doubt ill make this, barrax's Mosin Nagant was amazing and ive currently got a sipriani v3. when i get time i might check this one out

[barrax]

thanks!

[aksmak1]

no problem. im just being honest, when i made your rifle it was great. looked the part and did what it needed to do

[barrax]

:)

[aksmak1]

Nice rifle though!!!! looks pretty much the exact same as the real thing :D

[Kush_Slayer]

the magazine part is the metal directly in front of the trigger and below the stock, its where the internal magazine on the mosin nagant is

[345138]

Kk...but did you even make it yet?

[Kush_Slayer]

no, i didnt make one because i doubt i have enough knex and dont feel like digging them out

[Lowney]

Looks like it came out pretty good!

[345138]

Who are you talking to?

[345138]

This is a slingshot, his wasn't, so this is more powerful and has a better range.

[barrax]

tru dat... but my gun was made for looks, not power.

[ninjakoi]

whats the third picture

[Alien Terminator]

 yeah, I need some help too. 

[Raiden97]

this isnt as good as barrax's one

[345138]

yes
