couchcommando Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi Everyone! I just wanted everyone to know, I'v found a CHEAPPP source of 50 rd. drums at Numrich! I spotted it online on saturday, but had to wait till today to confirm the price was correct, I thought it was a typo or old ad, the price was so low. They are selling the Crosby marked repro drums for $129.95 and the saleslady said they have a real good supply of them. Unbelieveable low price for what everyone has been saying is a pretty darn good drum. Just please, save one for me! I have to wait till friday to take advantage of this price. I know there are some of you that could easily order 5 or more at a time, I might have to hit you up for 1 if they are sold out by friday.

PhilOhio Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I noticed that ad and their comment on markings. These appear to be the second generation of Chinese repros, which work fine and only need a shot of grease. Buy 'em up fast, guys, before Michelle Obama says you can't. "...to save the children...", I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hammer Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 This price makes them cheaper than Fortunelot. The item number listing for this drum online states they are stamped "Crosby" so unless they have failed to update their listing these should still be some from the first batch made and not the later batch that didn't carry the Crosby markings. I've got one coming on Thurs. Will let you know how it's marked. Are we all getting paranoid that there's going to be another large capacity magazine ban? And what is going on with ammo sales? I have never seen such a depleted inventory of all sizes of ammo available from retailers. Are people expecting a ban on ammunition, a civil war? These are dark days, commies now running the country. The future looks bleak, I didn't think I would ever see something like this happen in my lifetime. Mike Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (democraps) are working furiously on gunban bills, ammo ban bills, bills to turn over all decision making responsibility to the att.general, who would most likely ban everything thats not owned by the government. they're also working on conservative talk radio bans. When they get that done, they will have free rein to do anything they want with no opposing press coverage. Obama will raise his Civilian ARMY that he's talked about, then start the process of going door to door to confiscate dirty evil guns. When that happens, there will be a civil war. At least at my door! I don't get around too well, need to use a wheelchair a lot, but byGOD, I will not give away my liberty without a fight. I Spent too many years in the Military fighting against communism, to let that socialist sob waltz in and tell me that he's protecting me and mine by taking my guns. I spent nearly 12 years working as a cop, so I know the cops can't protect me from crime. Only a gun can do that.

The1930sRust Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I just paid for my Gunbroker auction buy of the Crosby Numrich drum. I think if you call first, they give a coupon code for free standard shipping. 866-NUMRICH (866-686-7424), chose option "1", then listen for the recording. BTW, I got hosed on the whole Gunbroker deal: more expensive and no free shipping! Go get 'em, boys.... Also, I bet they are not marked like the original drums....

deerslayer Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ok, I never bought one yet because "did I really need one more drum"?????? so I broke down and bought two of them today. Thanks for the heads up on the price. On the gunpowder ammo etc... supply, I've been looking at my distributor catelogs and such and there isn't even any available at that level? Local gun show here this weekend sold out of .223 in about 5 minutes.... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 All, When someone gets one of these drums, please post pictures.

2ndArmored Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 At the risk of tormenting those living under Communist rule, here's the ad: http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?ch...perSKU=&MC= (and I suppose if things get really bad, you can always fill these with gravel and chuck 'em at the bad guys.)

fortyfivecal Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 the ammunition manufacturers' are still ordering tooling, if anything, they are increasing their orders. across the shop, i saw .22, 5.56, 9mm, .45acp, and .50 caliber tooling being turned up tonite. good thing too, as warren buffet said about the economy going off a cliff, most of our other work, for non-ammunition tooling, has followed the economy over that cliff.

Motorcar Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Thanks for the tip on price, just ordered one for the pile o' drums, wife will love that...another one!?! The order clerk said they still have HUNDREDS in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 At this price, why not get another one! I was also told there were plenty in stock. The coupon code for a discount in shipping during the on line ordering process is 2560. Every little bit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1930sRust Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Mine has shipped UPS. Couple of days I guess. Looking at the picture on their site, it doesn't look like it is marked at all, http://www.e-gunparts.com/images/catalog/981020.jpg http://www.e-gunparts.com/images/catalog/981020.jpg though this could be deceiving. Also, do they run out of the box? And, the question begs: MADE IN CHINA stamped or a sticker we can peel off? CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dogsfightin Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 At this price I may have to get one and have it converted to work with my M1A1....Any suggestions on who would be the best man for that job and what can I expect to pay for the conversion ????

couchcommando Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 new coupon code is 3504. old one no longer works. this gives free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couchcommando Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 well, it's not exactly free shipping. the shipping charge for this drum is $8.95. the coupon code 3504 takes off $5.95, leaving a balance for you of $3.00 to pay. like another poster remarked, "every little bit helps". Shipping charges are based on $ amount of purchase, not on weight of purchase Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Got my drum today. NICE! Marked CROSBY BUFFALO N.Y. Metal is a few thousandths thinner than my 10rd Kahr drum. Nice dark blue. No ripples on side of drum like my Kahr. The key is a bitch to get off but it looks well made. Data plate Plate had the "THOMSPSON" milled off. Note stapled to invoice "We have made a slight cosmetic alteration to the data plate on the front of the drum". Thats why they priced them cheap. Slides in and out of my 1927A1 very easy and locks up tight. Hope it functions as well as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1930sRust Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 What aboot "wind to 9 or 11 clicks"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Mine arrived today. Same as described by RDS. These are from the first batch and are marked Crosby. Other side has Wind to 9 clicks. And yes the word THOMPSON has been milled off of the plate, it does not really detract from the looks as it was done before being blued. The erasure of the Thompson name was done due to Kahr's threats of a lawsuit against anyone but them using the THOMPSON name. Add yet another sub-species to the myriad of Thompson drums.
