I put a couple hundred rounds through my D-60 last week. It functioned PERFECTLY. Loading with the StripLuLa was fast and easy. I had a trio of Fudds shooting at the bench next to me. I could tell my semi auto fun time was getting in the way of them talking about shooting and enjoying the sound of their own voices...literally EVERY shot they sent down range had to be thoroughly discussed.. I actually heard "Oh geez, he's loading that one up again, we might as well wait till he's done" I wish I'd had a dozen D-60s http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd486/DrHeckel/KIDD/Temp/d6ba8f206d1aac06d97ab8b8c0b5050b_zpsf5oi9eit.jpg View Quote Silly Fudds, always so worried about hitting things with individual shots. |

How do these hold up to suppressed rifle use?
Wondering if they're more likely to gum up and how hard it is to disassemble, clean, and reassemble. |

Now that these are in the wild, who's gonna help the rest of us out by loading up some 220gr 300blk subs and testing this thing?

These things been coming into stock anywhere? I've been on a backorder for over a month.
EDIT 3/21: NVM. DSG BO just shipped today. If I like it I'll add one more. Funny thing is LGS just got them in and had a bunch over the weekend. I didn't want to pay $132+tax though knowing the DSG's were $20 cheaper. |
|
I just picked up 2 from DSG. Ordered Jan 25th and got them yesterday. Can't wait to try them out
|

How's current production?
When will these be available for purchase on Magpul's website? I know there's a few sites that have them in stock; however, I typically buy only from DSG (or I'll wait until they are available on Magpul's site.) Thank you. |

I feel like the manual or other source already said it was safe, but just to verify, can you leave the drum fully loaded for extended periods?
Also a few hundred through mine so far, and its been totally flawless. |

I am curious if Magpul recommends leaving the Ratcheting Loading Lever vertical when storing fully loaded for extended periods so it takes pressure off the feed lips. I did a quick review of the D-60, about 300 rounds. I hope you enjoy the video!

Ran about 300 rounds through a suppressed full auto Mk18 a few weeks ago. Not 1 single hiccup.
|
|
Just got a cancellation e-mail from DSG. "Magpul is no longer offering the D-60 Drum mag in the Sand color."
What gives?? |
|
|
|
Hey guys, this was some miscommunication. When we announced the D-60, and we announced the Sand material, some vendors placed orders for Sand drums.
We said we would look at it as a possibility, but we never actually said the drums would be available in sand. Some vendors kept the sand option up, hoping we'd make them. In reality, there are some special sauce formulations of material in the drum, so it may not be possible to do an all sand drum. Demand also dictates that we keep those tools running, and we have more capacity on the way, so we haven't experimented much. We may look at it someday, but it won't happen for a long while. Sorry for any confusion. |

I finally snagged one from my MagPul dealer - 142 Tactical - at a gun show. Unfortunately I got one of the rare lemons from MagPul. Friend who had an early one from Rainier ran his and it functioned fine in both rifles. Mine hung up on both rifles and had bolt hold open problems. Thankfully after contacting MagPul I got an RMA number and got it mailed back to them. Looking forward to getting a good one. Size and weight are incredible. Really handy.

|
Just ran 120 rounds thru mine, no issues with feeding or bolt hold open.
|
|
Can someone verify if these work w/ flared magwells? or give a quick measurement of the distance between the bottom of magwell to top of D-60?
Thank You |

Says it is compatible with loading devices. The Mag-Lula and the Beta-C Mag loaders won't work with it.
It is awkward to load, but worth it. I honestly don't see how any loading device would work with it because of the loading/winding lever. If someone has a method that doesn't require a vice or holding fixture, please post up a video link. |

Going to have to find an online dealer with decent shipping. Went to Smoky Mountain Knife Works yesterday and they wanted $139 for a D-60. Not happening.

Works with regular USGI stripper clips with GI spoon and strip lula, and a beta mag loader can work if you cut out clearance for the loading gate.
It's actually really fast to load with stripper clips, although the cheap stamped GI spoons have some variability that makes it more or less painful depending on what you get. Strip Lula and the cmag loader (with relief cut) work great. |

Ive watched enough vids on it so I felt comfortable in my ability to load it, still was a PITA to load, to me anyway. I didnt look into speedloaders because i dont buy ammo on strippers nor do i want to take the time to load strippers, to load in a mag. The Strip Lula, in the only vid i could find showing it used on a D-60, looks like it speeds things up super fast AND it can be used with OUT stripper clips i saw. #WIN |

ran one on our m249s this weekend and have used it with a sig mcx. great product.

Got a Maglula Striplula the other day and tried it to load my D-60. Was a bit awkward until I figured out how to hold my hands & fingers. I thought I'd need 3 hands at first but it worked out well. I loaded with loose round and not stripper clips.
After I got the hang of it, it was much faster and easier to load than by hand, one round at a time. It was also easier to keep count as to how many rounds were loaded (10 at a time, just count to 6). The thing worked even better on 20 & 30rd mags, super fast. id recommend one to anyone with a D-60 though, almost seems required in my opinion. while i was at it i got a maglula for my pistol mags, and that thing kicks ass too, ESPECIALLY for new, 21-33rd glock & glock compatible mags whose springs are stiff as hell. Both seem to be great products. |

If the feed lips crack, can the feed tower be replaced by the end-user? Or is it time for a new D60 if this happens?
Thanks. |
