Should sell well. I wish they would make a .22LR drum for the G3/91 .22 conversion.

I'd like a 50 or a 75 alot more. Isn't a ten pound loaded mag alot to hang from the magwell? Not just for the person holding the weapon, but doesn't that put some stress on the weapon itself?

Totally impractical. Well, maybe if you wanted to turn your rifle into a SAW-type configuration.
However, extremely cool. I want one!  I like the innovation post-AWB!Imagine a 51 with a sear and beta mag. Whee. Your shoulder/ass would hurt after that one, I bet. |

It is just too damn heavy when fully loaded=10.5lb. I personally think a 50rd Beta-C would do nicely!

That thing looks like a beast...but it'll fit perfect under my SG/1 clone. I'm getting into rapid engagement long rang shooting (at least thats what i call it). I try to run through about 200 rnds on 10 targets from ranges of 300yds to 800yds. I shoot on coal piles so I have all the privacy I want. As stupid as it sounds this would be the only time I'd use that drum...but it sure as hell would work like charm. I hope they plan on reenforcing it a great deal. Dropping it while loaded with 10lbs of 7.62 would sure enough crack that damn thing in half....

My 5.56 Beta always worked like a charm but seemed awful flimsy. Don't mean to incur any wrath, I know it's not really "plastic," but it's something LIKE plastic. No way I'd believe the 5.56 could take a 3 foot fall, certainly not one involving the feed tower. I suspect the 7.62 is the same way. |

HK agreed:    and I know some of y'all will disagree, but I've never had a problem wiuth a beta mag. HAving said that, the rounds are heavier bulkier, e.g. more friction, more vibration, more chance for breakage than 100 varmint rounds (223!) but what're the odds of beta ruining its name by fielding something they haven't completely thought out. |

Even though they're a PIA to load (and heavy), I've always liked these.
Kinda spendy though.  Dennis Todd had some of his "VIKING 70" drums at the Creek, and they do run well, but they're also BIG$$$. |
