I took my old West Hurley 1927 A-1 out to the range today. I had this one gone over by Damon and Tom at Tommygunner recently.
What I wanted to know is what changed in the West Hurley drums over the years ?
I have an older W.H. drum that I bought in 1994 that runs fine, but I purchased a West Hurley LEO drum recently and took them both out to the range today.
My old W.H. drum ran through 50 rnds. without a problem, but the later LEO drum didn't seem to have the spring pressure to push the rounds through. and the old one is solid when it is shaken, the late one sounds like the spring assembly is bouncing around when you shake it.
I live in a state where you can't own a F.A., not even an SBR. All I want is to have my semi auto to run reliably. If anyone has any info on the later West Hurley drums, could you please let me know what the difference between them and the earlier W.H. drums is.
I'd appreciate the information.
Dave
