Ron Mills Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) https://www.gunbroker.com/item/911922683 The guy says he has them in stock. Anybody see anything "different" about them? Looks like the newer ones to me. Great price if it's legit.

Ryo Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Wondering if this is the same seller.. https://linemount.com/product/thompson-compatible-50rd-drum-magazine/ Edit:It is.. Duh.. the name is the same as the website. LOL Edited September 28, 2021 by Ryo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) I ordered 2 just to try out. Taiwanese magazines supposedly works fine. I know Numrich GPC magazines are Taiwanese and they work great. I did run the scam checker on their website and it said it was valid.. Update:Wow.. they have a tracking # for it already.. I'll post photos when I get it. Shipped USPS so if they drop it off soon, I should have it by the end of the week. I'll compare it to my other Taiwanese drum which I know works.

Ron Mills Posted September 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Cool. Let us know! I had 3 of the new "Taiwan" drums, got from Sarco when they were on sale but sold 'em off. Enough grease on the drums to lube a U-joint on a small car LOL. Looks like they changed the labeling a bit, only 2 lines instead of 3 now; I guess that's what made me go Hmm.

Ryo Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 For $99 dollar.. and if they work, it is a steal when looking at Numrich's GPC Taiwanese drums. The one I got from Numrich were clean, no oil. I built one of those greasers and greased the internals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halftrack Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just bought one. Cant go wrong for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wv1928 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I BOUGHT 10 OF THEM FROM SARCO ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. THESE HAD THE WORD THOMPSON MILLED OFF. I USED 3 OF THEM WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I GREASED ALL OF THEM BEFORE THE 3 WENT TO THE RANGE. I PUT THE REST BACK IN THEIR BOXES AND THEY HAVE SAT ON A SHELF EVER SINCE. I ALSO BOUGHT A 100 ROUNDER IN 1966 FROM INTERARMS AND IT IS STILL IN THE BOX, I ALSO BOUGHT A 100 RD. FROM SARCO A FEW YEARS BACK AND IT RAN PERFECT. I DID HAVE TO GREASE IT FIRST.

Ryo Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Wow.. That was super fast. I got them yesterday. Very audible click. Strong spring. Haven't had a chance to do any shooting (which will be a while) Is there anything I should look at to give you guys more info? I took a photo of it next to my Numrich GPC DRUM (right side) Definitely interesting that the writing is two lines vs multi lines like the OP pointed out.

Waldo Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I got one several weeks ago. It looks just tile my other Taiwanese drum that I got several years ago. I took it to the range today. I fired 150 rounds thru it. 3 drum fulls. I had 1 ammo related failure and one failure to extract. I am not sure what caused the failure to extract. But I am inclined to blame the ammo, not the drum. The ammo is some I reload myself and I have no idea how many times some of the brass as been reloaded. I think if I had any doubts about the drum, I would take it out with some GI Ball and try it. But I am completely happy with the drum. I am not sure how many times you should load and fire a drum to declare it completely reliable, but I do not think I will ever use it for anything but enjoyment at the range, so I am going to call it good.

Ryo Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Late reply.. but yesterday I finally ran one of the drums.. and it ran flawlessly. Full dumps without issues. My 30rd magazines were giving me more issues than the drum. Did a few dumps with them. They seem decently durable.. my friend dropped a full drum and it still ran fine with the dent. I forgave my friend.. If it was a Colt drum.. well.. Sadly they are 50% more expensive.. but at $150, I still find that a great price.

1921A Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 You need a drum dent removal tool from Colt Chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
