Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

Gunthings is a good vendor. I got some FAL mags from them a couple months ago, and their prices were decent & they didn't screw me on shipping charges.

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

Great news & thanks for the follow-up ~ I might be ordering some FAL parts real soon from these guys. :ok:

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

For anyone who does not know, as an AK owner I'd love to endorse the 75-round mags, like icing on your cake.
Mine are not here with me now but as I recall they weigh about 4lbs loaded and steady the rifle a lot, but are maybe heavy for carrying afield.
They are shorter than the old reliable 30-round steel mags. They work about as realiable as a good typewriter - each and every time for me so far and I expect they will likely never fail in 4,000 rounds, unless I screw up.
My Chinese drum mag is the coolest... the back opens like a trapdoor and each round is just placed into a hole... then I wind up the spring like an alarm clock only when I need the weapon to become usable, saving the spring's lifetime indefinitely.
The Romanian version is obviously a bit smaller, about as heavy, but is relatively difficult and slow to load. It works like ringing a bell, right out of the wrapper for me, all 75 rounds just thumping off and away... very, very much a good feeling of exhilaration.
I guess I'm preaching to the choir ... this 75-round AK magazine really works well IMHO ... oh well, excuse me.

FWIW ~ here's the other style, a Chinese type top load drum.

These are awesome because you can store them Fully Loaded and just wind it up before use. :ok:

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

Both Drums will fit any AK's that can take hi-cap mags like the standard double-stack 30-round curved type.

Pistols, Underfolders, Romanian, Hungarian, and Yugos included. :wink:

These are really, really nice to have for any AK :ok:

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

Silver Dragon, those are EXACTLY like my chinese drum, the coolest and best there is IMO. I'm suspecting they are mislabeled by the sellers, or else Bulgaria has decided to market copies of a ChiCom-issue magazine. BTW, as I recall it just takes 2-3 cranks to wind the spring.

I know you fill EVERY hole inside the magazine where a bullet will fit, snap it shut, wind up a couple of cranks and go, great for prone position, the 30-rnd banana is and inch or two too tall for me there. IT WORKS WELL, reliably so. This is the ONE magazine to keep loaded if you wish, without weakkening the spring.

BTW my rifle is a WASR-10 Romanian, pretty cheap but works great. Bought new, put in a G-2 trigger, plastic recoil buffer, stainless gas piston, and spray painted with black teflon baked-on GunKote paint right away, after a little Dremmel polishing work esp. in the mag well area. I have a folding stock, detachable side scope mount with compact 4x32mm scope, a few more goodies like interchangable muzzle breaks and flash hiders... lots of options on such a universally fine basic shooting system. I'm just shooting the wind here... Enjoy!

Guys, I hate to keep going about trivial minutia, but spotted this on yet another forum -- and it may explain why these Chinese drums either have the wrong label regarding country of origin, -- or maybe it's the wrong picture, but that's a 'superior' chinese-style drum, not a Euopean drum as I know them to be.

I recently found out that my Maadi MISR, Clinton Ban era, is a Chinese parts gun assembled in Egypt on a Maadi receiver.

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

From my understanding, the Chi-coms sold their tooling to the Bulgarian circle 10 arsenal. Those and the Chi-coms drums are the way to go, opposed to the top loading Romy drums. Romanian drums function great, but suck to load compared to the Chi-com drums. A fully loaded drum does make a AKM kinda arkward to shoot, too heavey for my tastes. The drums weren't designed with the AKM's in mind, even though they fit and function just fine in them. They were designed and made with rifles like the RPD in mind.

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

......or my RPK (22" heavy barrel) with a bipod :wink:

And mine's a 'circle 10' Bulgarian drum.

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

OOPs, that's the one I meant, the RPD is the belt fed drum magazine one(right?). I don't own either of them, but hopefully I will be able to get both someday, before the upcoming ban.I have a Chi-com drum, but one of my friends bought the new Bulgy Drum magazine and they are just as nice. If not a little nicer being they are new production.

How do you like your RPK? I was thinking of building one from a parts kit, but it's almost not worth it for how much they go for as a complete gun. But that might be a different story with our new president-elect.

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

It's very, very nice and a KEEPER for sure. I bought it last year at a gun show and it's built on a 1.6mm receiver by Global Arms. The light trigger is smooth and super easy to rapid fire. I have several 40-rnd mags for it. Oh yeah, I like it a lot.

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

Nice! I really like the muzzle brake, very 50BMG-ish. I have a few questions... Do you have any problems with your scope holding it's zero with the mount? Does it have a scope mount on the side of the receiver? I'm kinda quessing it doesn't, but still I thought I would ask. What kind of groups you get at 50 and 100 yards?

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

What did that beast run you AD???

Re: AK Drums ~ 75 rounds
 

No - it sucks........I have to re-adjust the scope for each shooting session. :banghead: ........no rail on the side either but I plan to have one added by a gunsmith in the future.

Ummmmm.......it shoots Half Dollar size groups at 25-yds (indoor range).

Hey TA ~ I stole it for $700 last year at a local show.
