PK. Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Lets assume you had the opportunity to purchase a new production C drum that was identical to a Colt product in every respect except for its year of manufacture. If you had a choice between an exact replica of the original spring retaining system (with it’s propensity for breaking springs) or a newly designed system that would positively prevent spring breakage, which would you choose? Keep in mind that the new system would not be visible externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 As long as the som bitch worked out of the box and didn't need to be sent out for repair like all those new 50 rounders will be, I would be in for one for around $400-500.

pvmain Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I would be buying a working (out of the box) C drum for $400.00 to $500.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Chris Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 (edited) I'll take ANY "C" drum for $400 to $500! EDIT: If counting, I would probably take two if you are feeling out interest. I am curious too... I thought new "C"''s are just a pipe dream at this time. Whats up? Chris.

Bob B Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Paul, I assume these poll results aren't merely a matter of hypothetical or academic interest to you? DO TELL!!! C'mon, stop being coy and spit it out! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/tongue.gif Oh yeah ... I'd be in for one.

Sgt Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm not too interested in authenticity of the spring design. I agree with the rest on the price range. Count me in, if you are thinking of tooling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I would like to add, that I would not pay more than the range I talked about there, $400-500. Not one cent more. Beta C mags are $239. I am talking about paying TWICE that for the working C drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DINK Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 As far as I'm concerned, I don't care what's marked on it or how the internals work. As long as the gun goes "bang" 100 times and I don't need a second mortgage to buy it, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markt Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 A drum that is operational is more important to me than a historically (mechanically) correct device. A functional out-of-the-box drum, very interested. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFalGuy Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I would go for 2 "C" drums also- Should the L drums materialize also I doubt I would go back to stick mags very soon. Cross our collective fingers and hope these can get done too. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgdoc8307 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'd buy a functional right out of the box C drum. Fantastic hope this becomes a reality- I'll take at least two. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johne49 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I agree with the above. A functional drum is more important to me at this point. A "C" drum for $400 or $500 would be great. Thanks again for your help PK! JE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
