Drum mag questions
Hello,
Need some help. My ignorance may have cost me some dough today. Went to a small gun store today to kill some time and saw a drum mag for an AK and a SKS, both still in the plastic. The guy wanted $100 so I bought one for my WASR 10. Got home and noticed it was a 100 rd Chinese drum instead of a 75 rd. Now for the questions: I know 75 rd Romanian and Korean will work but will 100 rd Chinese work? Where can I find a pouch for a 100 rd Chinese ak drum? What should I look for or avoid? Also, does anyone know how to clean the cosmoline off a drum mag? Thanks for any info Stuka Last edited by StukaJU87; January 23, 2011 at 03:37 PM. |

It will fit in any ak 47 that take standard ak mags. if it has a duckbill on it, its for a sks.
this might help you a little bit: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=78&t=99170 $100 is a good price. what kind of markings or on it? |

Yeah, I saw that, made sure I got the AK drum. I haven't opened the plastic yet, but from what I can see there aren't any markings. There's just a cheap little gold sticker that says "Made in China" between the feed tower and the key.

you did good. 100 round drums are harder to find.
I have a few 75 round drums for my m92. have fun. Romanian and Korean (rear loaders) are based on the chinese drums. they are just a little bigger. |

Thanks, just what I wanted to hear. I was afraid the answer would be "man you screwed up, that wont work" or something to that effect. Maybe now the wife will let me keep it if I tell her "I got it on sale".

lol, good one UniversalFrost. I'm thinking about picking up some AK and SKS drums for resale. I've seen they sell between $200 $300 and he only wants $100. Would give me a reason to buy a SKS if I couldn't sell them.

I've seen some 75 rd drums recently as low as $69.95, don't recall if they were Romys or Korean. I have a Chinese one from the good ole days, back when they were about $50.
