full auto 45 Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Are you looking for the "L" or "C" drum? I saw some "L" drums this week end for about $1500-1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 http://gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?...p?Item=16115991 Not much of a description, but could be what you are looking for. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 If you are looking for a Colt numbered L drum. You can try checkpointcharlies.com http://www.checkpointcharlies.com/showprod...9&categoryid=26 However I have SERIOUS concern on the originality on this item. When I called it was described as with a BLUE rotor. When I questioned this as maybe a misinformed description comparisons were made with other L drums they had some which had nickel rotors and some which have blue rotors, so I the 1st description was correct not misinformed. NOW we all know the Colt numbered drums should be nickel rotors so this would not be right with a blue one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Sig, It is not unusual for Colt drums with nickel rotors to be swapped for Worcester rotors at some point in their history. But if the covers have the proper markings, whether they are numbered, or just "NO" blank space, or no numbers or "NO", they would still be legit Colt drums. The description on the Gunbroker drum sounds deceptively vague, but I bet its a WWII drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Arthur I agree it common to see rotors swapped out. So yes it is original if the rest is as described. BUT I would not recommend paying the requested almost $3k for a drum that is not completely original, heck I would have a hard time to pay that if 100% original!!!!

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Sig, Oh yah!....That's more inflated than Martha Stewart's ego....Probably more in the $2000-$2250 range, considering what people are paying for WWII drums.
