I was looking at revolvers the other day and i love how they reload from the back (like a doomsayer), and i was just wondering if you could mod a maverik for it to reload from the back?

I'm going to assume you've searched the forums for this and did some thinking before posting your question.
Otherwise, i can guarantee the other members will be on your case rather quickly.

Operating on the assumption you know what you're doing, I think that it could be roughly done by simply drilling holes at the back of each spot. Although, i fear doing so will compromise the seal and affect ranges. Perhaps adding an additional seal in addition to drilling the holes will make this do-able.

Best of luck, and be sure to post a write-up if you make any significant breakthroughs.

Probably do a barrel replacement, drill the backs like NerfArmageddon said, and use craft foam to create a nice seal on the back when you are done.

I believe slowguitarman was the one who finally made a successful rear loading maverick.

I believe it is possible but all members have denounced it as ineffective.

That being said if you can do it then don't let me stop you. As others have said it is possible but it makes the gun even worse than it was in the first place.

It's funny how it was revived and currently on the front page.

Anyway, I will just add my insight on this mod. It would take much more work to do this than normally modding a Maverick. You could much more easily replace the barrels and make a removable turret. With a removable turret, you can take it out completely and load it from the front. It's not like a doomsayer where it would take more than your finger to push the dart all the way down. You just need to push it from the front.

Also, since it's not a big gun, it is not hard to turn it around and load from the front. You can easliy flip the gun around and load it, and that's only if you chose to not make the turret removable.

That is all.
