lamellarllc Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Seems like a lot of people like these repop drums, at their price point seems pretty decent for what they are. My question is do they need to be "greased" inside or are they good to go from the box?, I have no idea on how to grease the internals of a Tommy gun drum LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 The Taiwan L drums Sarco sells work right out of the box. Greasing the spring requires a special tool. Adding grease is optional and not required for proper operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt21a Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 That is a good one.... With all going on now t.p. hoarders water and canned spam........And places actually going out of business or shut down for awhile we gotta get that Sarco drum....Lucky that Sarco moved over to Pa. you won't get no Jersey germs in the box.I feel bad for all those Thompson on the restoration shelfs They may get shipped back to owners who are no longer around.I know a guy who has a giant collection for sale now parts kits, guns, a nice pile $150 grand cash gets it all.RON K.

timkel Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 FYI- The Sarco retail store in Pa is closed due to the virus. But the Sarco mail order side is open and processing orders. I placed an order just the other day and already have the tracking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiz Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Timkel, thank you so much for the reply and info! Greasing is certainly not required although in the long term it is not a bad idea to insure the longevity of the drum. It is easy enough to do with a greasing tool.

Do you feel like adding a greasing tool to your repertoire? It would nicely compliment your excellent mag lip restoration tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel like adding a greasing tool to your repertoire? It would nicely compliment your excellent mag lip restoration tool! Actually I did fabricate a drum greasing tool a little while ago. I would post a picture if I could remember how. Suffice to say it worked well and was machined from aluminum bar stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiz Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Tiz, how does it work ?Works well. Gets the job done. Of course greasing a drum is certainly not rocket science, it is a relatively easy thing to do as long as you have a fixture to force the grease into the drum similar to the one I made for myself.

lamellarllc Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Do you plan on making another run of those for greasing the drum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiz Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Do you plan on making another run of those for greasing the drum?Presently I am pretty much tied up making my Magazine Feed Lip Repair tools. I have quite a few orders to fill. Once I get caught up on those I will be able to make some drum greasing tools if there is an interest. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks and stay safe.

morke Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I have a Sarco drum and I greased it -- can't hurt and I'm paranoid about malfunction. There is a post on here somewhere about making a greasing tool from a pipe cap, hose washer and c-clamp. I made my own and it's pretty easy if you can drill and tap a hole.

Autorotate Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi Tiz! When you are caught up with the magazine tools, put me down for a drum magazine grease tool. I know it appears straight forward, but you seem to have a gift for fabrication and I am pleased with your magazine tool! BTW...if it’s marked “5 & 10” I want number 15 to match my magazine tool.

Tiz Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Roger that AutoRotate. The 5 & 10 is my trademark logo for the tools since I owned and operated a 5 & 10 variety store for over 20 years. I trust you remember what a 5 & 10 was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Ploughboy Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Roger that AutoRotate. The 5 & 10 is my trademark logo for the tools since I owned and operated a 5 & 10 variety store for over 20 years. I trust you remember what a 5 & 10 was. Where I grew up, they were called a "Five and Dime" or just a "Dime Store". Different colloquialisms in different parts of the country. I once worked with a lady who came from the so-called "Pennsylvania Dutch" area of Pennsylvania. She said they had lots of local speech that was unlike the rest of the U.S. The one example I remember is she said they called rubber bands "gum bands", as in gum rubber, I guess.

And Five and Dime is correct as well. The 5 & 10 was for 5 cent & 10 cent items therefor Five and Dime. In PA we call a small stream a "run". And a "jagoff"is a person who is stupid, inept, and irritating. We also call thorn bushes, jager bushes. Remember the band "The Jaggerz" from Pittsburgh,PA. Lots of strange language here in PA.
