Garys4598 1,065 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I think Anubis was very clear in his stance on drums. . . But never fear, the free market will prevail. I am sure another company will step up to the plate and service the demand. I think Anubis should sell me that friggen gorgeous Corvette, cheap! (What? I can't have an opinion?!?! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I would rather not have the ATF classify the MKA as a DD... HMMM... this sounds familiar. Where have I heard this before...? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

congewe 14 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Classify as a DD. Runs correctly. Not reliable. 3 minutes. Never sleeps. Cool cars. 4 door wagon no less. That hurt my brain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 dont make a drum they will ban it!!!! come on chicken little if that would allow them to ban them the saiga12 would have been gone a year ago when they tried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madwand 2 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 How does the ATF change the classification of a weapon just because you build a different feeding device? There's a guy on the Internet building guns and hi capacity magazines with a 3D printer. The ATF had no problem issuing him an FFL license. Are they really concerned if you build a drum?

Anubis 38 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Classify as a DD.Runs correctly. Not reliable. 3 minutes. Never sleeps. Cool cars. 4 door wagon no less. That hurt my brain. To unhurt your brain a little Yes, the ATF would have classified the Saiga as a DD when drums came out if not for their own internal issues at the time, they had the paperwork completed but something else took precedence. I don't actually know what that something else was. Look what they did to the street sweeper which was basically a 12gauge revolver with far less capacity than a 20 round drum. Yes, we got this drum to run with about 3 minutes of tuning and tweaking, and yes I still feel drums are unreliable. Even if they are made to run, how many times will they continue to run after being dropped in the dirt? As far as never sleeping, there's two of us that work in the shop and one that handles the phones and paperwork. Between shotguns and AR's that's a more than full time job in and of itself, but then we have street rods, drag boats, car shows, gun shows, boat races, shooting matches, etc etc. Don't knock the wagon bro, it's going to be badass! Especially when it's done up black and white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not only can I fit lots of targets in the back I look like a mighty O.G. in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis 38 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 This one has an LT-1 350 and a muncie 4-speed. Tri-5 purists will cry about it but who cares, it's awesome lol. I've always had a liking for wagons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sdustin 578 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I like classic cars. But I think with the current climate in the country if they thought they could get away with banning or turning the saiga or mk into a DD they would do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cut off the fed tower of the drum 2. Attach 5 (2?) round factory mag. 3. Keep your fingers crossed Easy peasy Yeah I figured all that... Does the mka mag need to be cut at all? Does any mods need to be done to spring? How about mounting the mag to the drum? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Does any mods need to be done to spring? I would imagine that you would need to put more tension in the drum spring, one or maybe 2 more revolutions to the drum, seeing now that the shells have to go up a feed tower. that is what I had to do to the PPSH41drum when I converted it to a PPS43 drum. you would also need to make some spacer shells, to push the remaining live shells in the feed tower up to the gun.

barely 5 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I don't know whether it's possible, but I'd like to see a magazine body that will clip onto a MD Arms drum. That way I don't have to screw up my MD Arms drum trying to make one fit the MKA 1919. Also, I could still use the MD Arms drum with my Saiga's if the attachment will "clip" to the original mounting points on the drum without modification. I would assume that a couple of dummy shells would be needed to go along with the attachment since the magazine body will need to be at least as tall as the magwell. Heck, I'd even cut a factory MKA 5 round magazine in half if there was some type of an attachment that could be mounted to the bottom to secure to a MD Arms drum. Magazine would definitely need to be cut so that the drum did NOT hang so far below. I can always dream... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
