Frank Iannamico Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 They are not interchangeable. The ejector on a PPD40 interferes with the left feed lip on PPSh 41 drums and box mags. There were no box magazines for the PPD40, drums are rare (but they will work in a PPSh), the left feed lip is shorter to clear the ejector. HOWEVER, if you grind a small notch at the back of the left feed lip to clear the ejector, PPSh 41 drums and mags will fit and function. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my PPD-40, it came with a single original drum. In comparing...I quickly realized what an easy alteration to the drums and stick mags of the PPSh-41. I think I only ever used the original once...I put it up and used the drums/mags I altered. Very easy alteration and the drums/mags will still work in the PPSh or Yugo 49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
