I have a Mitchell arms m-90, I just have the 20rd mags , 7.62x51 , I'm wondering about the avalibility of pre ban (94)drum mags? Any help is appreciated

I know this is an old post, but I figure I would jump in anyway.

I don't recall ever seeing a drum of any kind for this rifle.  I have seen people convert M14/M1A mags to work, and I have heard of Saiga 308 mags being converted, but never a magazine.  That being said,  I would try an X Products drum and see if I could open up the front tab to work on the M90 and trim the locking tab on the back to fit correctly.

If you do this, post pics afterwards, as again I have never seen an M90 with a drum.  It would be bad ass though!

Just in case you need more mags, they are OOS as of the time of this writing, but they seem to get them from time to time.

This guy shows the conversion being made.  I don't think I would use a Dremel tool with a wheel to do the front cut vs. drilling the hold open and cleaning it up.  I would refinish the new opening afterwards as well.  The back tab on the X Products drum is made from the same material as the mag itself, so it should be easy to trim.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, here in mass they have a 94 ban still in place, it's very vague as to "making" a mag, but thanks for the vid. and reply
