essohbe 47 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 DRUM MAG! Is there such a thing for the 5.45? Toying with the idea of making one somehow if they are non-existent. I imagine there's a way to mod a 7.62x39 magazine but is the mag's curvature too different? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmax4x4 68 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) They sell them on uzitalk http://www.livevideo.com/video/F30DE5CDBC1D4920AC8B9CCF3EF413E2/5-45-upper-w-77-rnd-barrelxch.aspx Edited August 24, 2010 by madmax4x4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aagalkin 1 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Why a drum when there are prototypes of the quad stack? Good luck getting your hands on one though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
essohbe 47 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 ... there are prototypes of the quad stack? What's a "quad-stack?" It involves 4 magazones, I pressume? Lol. The drum mag is almost the price of the rifle. Absolutely WAY too much for a drum mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L5K 162 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) The quad stack is just that, a magazine with four rounds across it instead of the standard two (double stack) magazines. They hold 60 rounds. The last one I saw for sale was on gunbroker. The bidding went up to NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS, and didn't meet the reserve. They look like this: Edited August 25, 2010 by L5K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

L5K 162 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, the reason the price is so high is because there's like less than 10 of the original Soviet ones in the US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh, so in reality it'd end up being more of collectors item as opposed to something you'd actually use. I'd be pissed breaking a $900 mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casp 119 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 AFAIK those mags were developed along with the AN-94 rifle but I've never heard of them actually being used in service. I'm kind of surprised there are any in the US at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
