ron_brock Posted February 22, 2025 Report Share Posted February 22, 2025 Anyone know if these are the same as the Numrich ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted February 22, 2025 Report Share Posted February 22, 2025 I don't see the typical GPC engraving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMG28 Posted February 22, 2025 Report Share Posted February 22, 2025 (edited) These are the Taiwan drums. You can tell from the way the faceplates are attached, but because they are being sold by Sarco, there is no GPC on the cover faceplate.

APEXgunparts Posted February 23, 2025 Report Share Posted February 23, 2025 I remember the 50 round SARCO drums were a good product. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARIVS Posted February 23, 2025 Report Share Posted February 23, 2025 But DO THEY WORK? I'd love to have one if it WORKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMG28 Posted February 23, 2025 Report Share Posted February 23, 2025 I expect them to work well. All of the Taiwan drums, both C and L, have been very reliable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted February 23, 2025 Report Share Posted February 23, 2025 Like Roger above, I would expect these C drums to work just like the ones from GPC (Gun Parts Corporation). I would check on the SARCO return policy if not completely satisfied. I know GPC has a good return policy, but you need to test the drum quickly. I also suggest making sure there are no tight spots in the rails (easily fixed) and use some type of lubricant inside the drum to aid in feeding. I find using a little graphite powder works great. Anything around 400 bucks in the Thompson community that works is a steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted February 23, 2025 Report Share Posted February 23, 2025 IIRC sarco has like a 5 day return policy? You better test quickly and find out or you'll be owning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Sarge Posted February 24, 2025 Report Share Posted February 24, 2025 Sarco will make you pay for return shipping if it doesn't work. Past experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted February 24, 2025 Report Share Posted February 24, 2025 I did a review of the then new GPC (West Hurley) C drums for Small Arms Review magazine in 2018. Below is the link: West Hurley Meet West Hurley I suggest comparing prices and return policies at both Gun Parts Corporation and SARCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryboy77 Posted February 24, 2025 Report Share Posted February 24, 2025 The last 2xweeks ive seen a couple different places selling these $375 drums and the other sellers said 'GPC'on them and had a small serial number. I bet they are the new numrich 100 rd drums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
