Driftwood 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 You guys were a great help when I was learning about Saiga 12s...so I figured I would put a line in the water and see if anyone happens to be able to help me out with another member of the Ak family. I'm looking for reasonably priced Chinese 7.62x39 AK drums in either 75 or 100 round capacity. If you have some or one, new or used, let me know... republic36 (AT) sbcglobal.net Thanks!

6500rpm 670 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Check over at the AK files, there was a guy that had around 10 of them to sell not too long ago(Chinese). If I still have the pm he sent me, I'll edit in his contact info later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 WhatACountry.com had some Chinese drums not long ago........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
98_1LE 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 http://www.whatacountry.com/aspcart/prodet...355&start=1 Looks like they still do, but ouch. You want the wind-up Chinese drum, not the other style. <~~ Very happy he bought his Norinco drum 13-14 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driftwood 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yeah...Whatacountry is pretty much the high number. They have to make a living however. I can't knock them for not being competitive with private sellers. I searched AK files and saw a couple old sales.... Looks like I pretty much can expect to pay $165 for NIW 75 rounders and $250 to $275 for NIW 100 rounders...A little less if I want one covered in rust (great).... Anything less than that and it sells in minutes. I've missed two sales now due to being just a few minutes late in checking in the sales threads. Suckers are pricey! Oh well...Bite the bullet I suppose... Thanks for the help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The chinese 100 rounders are not worth the same $ as a 75 round drum due to feed issues. Not sure about other makes in the 100 round capacity.(Either way-yes get the wind up kind).
