Toolndie7 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I just took home a 75rd Chinese drum for my akms in trade for some machine work. Seems like it will be fun to play with. Anyone have any experience playing with theses or the romanian drums? Makes me want to load that puppy up and go bump fire the snot out of it !

planeflyer21 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 My buddy has a couple of the Chinese drums...and he bump fires the snot out of them. The Chinese drums are the go-to on the market, others seem to fail miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I've got a Chinese drum magazine that I bought years ago and it has always worked flawlessly. You can load the thing up and twist that key just enough to put a little spring pressure on it and leave it loaded indefinitely, just crank it on up when you're ready to shoot. I keep mine loaded up in the safe like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I would have thought the opposite. Funny thing is that the Norinco imitation M1A's are in demand by shooters because of their high quality. Can't get them anymore in the US, only Canada. Also, during the Soviet Afghanistan conflict, the only AK's AKM's and RPK's that the Soviets would reuse if they were captured were the Chinese manufactured ones. The Romanian, Egyptian, etc. Soviet style small arms were all destroyed, but not the Chinese. I don't know if it was because of quality or some other reason, but they are turning out quality stuff, damn them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaseFan9 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I've got a couple, and they've never let me down. The only thing that aggravates me is how you can't insert a full 75 rds on a closed bolt, and they take FOREVER to load. But like Hemi said, load 'er up, close that cover, and turn the key 3/4 turn, and she's g2g indefinitely, just turn it the other 9 clicks when you need to use it.
