anjong-ni Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I believe that they are supposedly "MGC" model drums made in Japan for their toy Thompson. ...Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68coupe Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 They're not a myth. they occasionally show up on GB & Numrich sells parts for them. I have a Doug Richardson book that covers them, albeit briefly. FWIW, Karl, 68coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriggerman Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 When I worked at AO WH, the drums were indeed toy made drums. They had a habit of coming back for replacement once the cartridge follower tabs started to bend past the cartridges they are intended to push around. Pure junk compared to Real ones. I remember something about a warning sent with new ones to NOT over wind the drum. In reality, they were never ment to be used in real guns. Kings ransom in cost to boot.
