I haven't tried that, and don't own one, but with those caveats in mind:  I DID play around with (but didn't buy) an overpriced Mutator at a thrift store a while back.

Educated Guess: NO, drums won't seat in the magwells, at least not right out of the package.


 * EDIT: Correction: actually they do fit, verified by Elliottw.

Mod Speculation: You could probably dremel away much of the lower portion of the shell, allowing it to accommodate drums without destroying the mounting points of the up/down floating magwells.

Advice: Not worth the bother. The up/down mechanism that raises and lowers the two floating magwells when the barrel is extended or retracted is a little bit "wobbly", and I wouldn't trust it to support the added weight of a drum mag or two. Especially not in combat conditions where it'll be jostled around and the mags will be bonking into things.

Plus, it's a bit impractical/pointless to have TWO DRUMS' WORTH of ammo capacity on a bolt-action rifle.

If you try it anyway and make it work, post pics!! I'm curious. If I find a cheap/used/busted Mutator, I may take a crack at it myself.
