rhw1225 Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 WH 39rnd drum Can you guys tell me what this is drum worth? It's a West Hurley 39 rnd drum in mint condition. It looks like it has never been loaded. I bought it with a 1927A1, but since don't need it, I'd like to sell it. I'd appreciate any information on what these are selling for. Thanks, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Robert, I bought one last fall NIB,and I got the box, never loaded,until I got it, absolute perfect, for $325. A 39 I've never given over that for one. I've had 4 so far and average was around $300. I know it isn't like a "L" drum, but That is what a good one sales for. Also some work and some don't. I did have to tweek the feed lips of mine to get it to feed into my '28 WH gun. Now 39 rounds run in about 1 second or damn close. Hope this helps you out.

Ron A Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Full auto is correct - I have purchased them for as low as $200. and as high as $300. A dealer who runs adds in the Shotgun News sometimes asks as high as $500. When I phoned him it turns out the 39 rd drum he had was not marked AO, but is one of the Jap toy drums. I am not sure, but have been told AO got the Jap drums and stamped their name on them. I have several of the 39 rd drums. The spring tension is different in everyone and they seldon ever work in full autoand no often in semiauto. They are for a toy cap gun which cycles very slow not a full auto gun. At best they are a display item.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
