Looking to snag a drum for my Romanian sar1. 762x39. Used to be local stores that would always have one but I don't see them anymore. Not sure if there are any to avoid.

The Romanian 'top loading' 75rd drums used to be the "gold standard" IMO of drum mags.

Not sure where to find one or if they're still being made.

I like top loader drums but rear loader drums are much more user friendly.

Rear loader Romy's work well and are still available in a lot of places, I think there's one on the EE now for sale.

Top loaders are awesome, but if you can find one it's gonna be double what the rear-loader costs.

Do not buy cheap drums, you will regret it. And they are out there.
