mattmer Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif Got my new 'C' drum #276 and will try it out this weekend. Haven't gotten around to cleaning it yet! These are the ones from Drum Mags in Wakefield MA, which so happen to be from Kahr. This weekend I'll give it the ol' high school try!

Norm Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Are these the Kahr drums? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/dry.gif If so, are they any good? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/huh.gif Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Are you telling us that the long awaited, long suffering Kahr 100 rd. drum is now being delivered to customers?????????? Please verify this. I thought they were still having trouble with the prototypes? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/huh.gif Mike Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmer Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've got it in my hot little hands. I'm just not feeling so great after learning about the moonie http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/banghead.gif connection. This was from a 'group buy' referenced somewhere about 1 yr or so ago on these pages. It was 'Drum Mags'. some pages: http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invb...+drum+group+buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 mattmer I checked all of your previous posts (you only have 9) I don't see where you were ever involved with ANY group buy for C drums, at least not here. Damon is the only one I can remember talking about organizing a group buy for Kahr C drums and to my knowledge that never came about. Are you sure the buy was organized here?

mattmer Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I just remember saying that I would take one. Maybe it was someone else, but I got snail mail from Drum Mags in Wakefield MA. The order ltr was postmarked 25 Oct 2006. drummags@hotmail.com. Guy called me several weeks ago saying the drums were in and they were going to charge my card and send the drum. Which they did, on both counts. I have the drum and I thought it was the result of saying 'I'll take one' to one of the group buys. Now I guess there is a mystery as to how I got on the mailing list. Doesn't mean I did not forget how it came about though. These memory things are getting more and more... er.. happening a lot more. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif As time goes by...

Warden Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 mattmer, I hope your C-drum works out for you, but I have my doubts when Kahr is involved. I personally have no desire for a C-drum... the weight of a semi is bad enough without adding 100 rounds to that. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdave2441 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Are you saying that a fully loaded "C" Drum is not worth the temporary weight restriction for a 100 round full auto dump? Come on! If the Kahr drums work, I will consider purchasing one after I hear from the experienced ones here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 No. If I had a full auto Thompson, I would definately want a C-drum. In a semi, it's not a matter of holding it up for seconds, but actually, much longer. It sucks to be able to own semi auto only, but it's better than nothing.

full auto 45 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 If anybody gets number 587 "C" drum, I'll trade you another for it. That way it's matching to my gun. I'm sure others will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpw43 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Does "Drum Mags" have a web site? Can you tell us how much it went for? Last August at the TATA shoot we got to try 3 prototype mags. One of the 3 worked very well. A Kahr rep was there, too. It was a heavy sucker. By the time I got the sights lined up where I wanted them my arm got tired of holding the Thompson. Kind of like balancing 2 boxes of ammo on top of the receiver. But I still want one! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hey guys, Don't forget that Damon at www.tommygunner.com can order these new drums also! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif He is a board member and an authorized Kahr distributor.

Jay Baker Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 After the great success of the Kahr L drums that I experienced, I am sure to buy the new C drum from this outstanding reputable company. I like Mike's idea for a matching numbered drum, so I'll get mine to match the '28. Will someone let me know when Kahr gets to the 469300 series of C drums? crickets chirping=============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the sound of somebody's little crow bar, trying to pry a warped cover off, so they can dig out all that jammed ammo. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Thats A LOT of ammo to be stuck http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmer Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 That is odd. I posted a range report a week ago! (Then again, maybe I just previewed and didn't finish!) Did 2 C drum dumps. First one, about 20 rds thru, a cartridge got cockeyed, like drug on something. I straightened out with a .308 bullet tip (in cartridge) and it dumped fine. The second went without a hitch. I got the feeling that the spring was a little weak, though. Just a feeling. The cover was very tight. I also dumped 2 new repro Crosby drums for fellas. These both opened like fitted gloves! 1. AOK all the way. 2. 180 degrees from feed, cartidges were too tight in the grooves so it hung up. Contacting company to see if it can be replaced. I am satisfied. $559 for a C drum that works is ok. We'll see about longevity. MattGinOK aka mattmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpw43 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 We had that problem at the TATA shoot in August. Kahr rep brought 3 C drums. One worked fine every time, the other 2 had the problem where it would stop firing. When the drum was removed there was a round sitting sideways in the feed area. After removing it, the drum would finish emptying. Tracie and the Kahr rep figured that there was a few thousandths inch off on some spec. Overall, the felt very sturdy. It even had the hole in the center spindle, like an old drum. I was surprised to see a Kahr rep there. Hopefully they used all the input they got there to make it right.
