Motorcar Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 The awaited 100 round drum is now showing on the Kahr/AO website. Auto-ord It shows as "coming soon" with an MSRP of $599. Assuming a dealer price might be lower, and if they don't mess this one up like the first "L" drums....maybe we have hope here for a new supply of functioning "C" drums. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftc3906 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) "A Thompson is just not a Thompson without the most famous accessory item ever - the Drum Magazine. The impressive look and feel of the Drum Magazines are unsurpassable. Each authentic drum is entirely U.S. manufactured to the specifications that are as close as possible to the original. The 10 Rd. and 50 Rd. drums have a diameter of 6 3/4". The 100 Rd. drum has a diameter of 8 3/4". Each drum is shipped with a drum installation device (3rd hand) and a Thompson manual." As close as possible, eh? Please pardon my skepticism. Edited March 20, 2006 by ftc3906 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIONHART Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 What's up with the winding instructions on the front cover? Look's like a WH "C" to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Crow Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Any thoughts on doing another group buy? I'll bite for 1! I'm in it this far, might as well go a little further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45cal Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have a Kahr 50rd drum that does work... In a S/A WH Thompson. So I`m gonna have to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supershooter Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I got in on the Kahr L drum buy. taking 6, of which 4 were OK, one didn't work and one had the MIG wire spot welded to the top edge of the body. Last week I ordered in 2 more L's and neither one runs perfectly yet after some tinkering. One would not even go into the gun because the rivets were too high. This is at $200 per drum. At $500+ for a C drum from an outfit with such poor quality control, they need to find another sucker to help them test the market. On the other hand the 3 new Kahr carbines that came in - 1927 Deluxe, Light Weight and M1 were nicely done and they ran perfectly! Is this par for the course in regard to their carbines now?

Sgt Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Did someone mention awhile back that Merle wouldn't touch the new Kahr drums? Anyone know that for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatu Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Great thing, that C drums coming to market, but does anyone know who can sell these 100rd drums to foreing countries, for example to Finland ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilroyjones Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Looks like Kahr is already shipping the C-drums. Ad Placed on Sturm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hammer Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 At $400 this fellow is selling below the mfg. suggested retail which makes me wonder if he has already tried it, it didn't work and he stuffed it back into the packaging and is dumping it to an unsuspected buyer. Alright, do we have any C drum guinea pigs out there willing to let go of 400 smackers to see how these Kahr's perform? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/hail.gif Mike Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 it would seem that their m1 carbine is also suffuring from problems...both mech and service dept related.... you can bet i'll not be on the waiting list for a "C". although i will be standing on the side lines hoping that something changes.

Grey Crow Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/tongue.gif I'd take one at the 400 price, its better than swallowing 600! I only had a few minor problems with the L, nothing that couldn't be fixed. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Placed on Sturm I too bet he bought it and can't get it to work and taking a hit. This is what I did with my 50 rounder that they couldn't fix, but I at least told the person there were issues with drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I wondered if it might be an old westy drum at that price. A $400 its below wholesale price for the new Kahr drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philasteen Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I thought it might be a preban WH drum also - in which case that's a smoking deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancer Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I saw this post on subgun, thought you guys might be interested in the comment. http://www.subguns.com/boards/mgmsgarchive...cgi?read=531918 "Re: Kahr releasing new "C" drums @ $500 Posted By: Merle in Oregon Date: 3/29/06 09:39 In Response To: Kahr releasing new "C" drums @ $500 (Anon) I made some calls yesterday and found that the C-drum has not been released yet. When it does come out it will be good to go for both semi and full autos. The price will be 600$. I think this one will be a good C-drum or it will NOT get released.
