The wind up drums are best.
They can be fully loaded and spring wound up just before you use it. |

Yes, Chinese type also the Korean new manufacture type. I think There are some Romanian ones that are like that too. They load from the back - you pop off some clips and load the rounds in that way.
The only drum type that is not a good idea to left loaded is the snail drum type romanian that you have to load from the top, one shell at a time until it is full. You would be looking at anywhere from 80-120 for a drum. |

I bought a 75rd chinese drum that had been fully loaded since 1992 and took it out and emptied it with no problems 20 years later

Once it is loaded, you can take the pressure off the spring using the crank. The top loading snail type (like the Romanian I mentioned) have a crank but all that does is helps you get the next shell loaded in the top. It will have constant pressure on the spring in the magazine. |

Just wondering are the Chinese going for a premium over the Korean and Romanian? They are much harder to find and where hilly sought after way back in the day.

I can say back in the day when I had a Chinese 75 round drum it ran 100%, 100% of the time.
I wish somebody would make that quality of a drum for the AR 15.

When the Romanian & Korean drums were selling for $50. - $75....the Chinese drums were selling for about $150. Now people are wanting $100.+ for the Romanian & Korean mags...and the Chinese mags still seem to be $150. or so. |
