I hope the SG drums show up, but if they don't, I believe
that drum prices will go back up.
To answer your question a LE only marked drum would almost certainly be an aftermarket drum. WH or Kahr.

I recently purchased a West Hurley LE drum. The last time I took it out, it failed to feed only once. Not bad, one round out of 50.
Like I said in a previous post, all of the negative comments about Kahr products made me go back to e-gunparts (West Hurley).
I have a West Hurley drum that I bought in 1994 and it runs perfectly.
Personally, for the price, I'll stick with West Hurley.

Well he didn't come right out and say it, but I think he was in some way associated with IMA. He mentioned that he had personally been involved in the cutting up of the the parts kits coming into the country from the Ukraine. |
Don't they have to be cut up before they hit the USofA? Or can you import fully functional guns...

As for the drum question, the understanding I have is all LEO drums are WH production prior to the AO sale to Kahr in '99. (Don't start on me AF, I'm just trying to put it in a time context!) With the Clinton high-cap ban all remaining WH were either marked or produced as LEO. The one I purchased from e-gunparts for $275 was new in box and identical to the WH I got prior to the ban's expiration. It is marked LEO/EXPORT just below the rotor shaft on the back of the case. It does seem to be of sturdier construction than the Kahr and runs just fine.
In the photo from left to right is WH "C", WH LEO, WH pre-ban, Kahr. I don't regret the purchase price for the WH LEO, hope this helped.

Thanks for your response on the West Hurley drums. I think you answered my question. If the LE I ordered from e-gun parts runs as well
as the West Hurley I have, I'll be happy. Of course, I won't really be happy until I have one of those 100 rounders. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. You pretty much answered my question regarding the West Hurley drums. Granted, I would prefer an orginal WWII drum, but for now I'll settle for another West Hurley. Thanks.
