Last week, I saw a picture on the web of a "real" drop box magazine for the Mauser 98. The rifle was a Westley Richard's .425 (the old school type).
The drop box looked as if it clipped into the bottom metal the same as the floorplate usually would except it extended to the bottom of the trigger guard. It was secured by a lever release like an old Oberndorf floorplate. I bet you could stuff 8 or so cartridges in that mag...
Is anyone more familiar with these than I? What are the chances of getting or making one? Can anyone direct me back to that picture? Pictures, books, links, or blueprints appreciated...
