Does anyone have pictures of how those AK drums that are loaded from the back work?

I want to build some higher capacity drums for my PPS50 and maybe my 10/22, and dislike the fact that Drums for both look like they will hold a brick of ammunition, and only hold 53 and 50 rounds respectively


so any help?

You can't build one or two or ten. It's a manufactured item.

Semi detailed drawings are available at the patent office website for free. Good luck ... you'll need it.

If I had one to use as a blue print I could make them, just a matter of making the form for the press.

my PPS50 and 10/22 drum I am going to build from scratch putting scaled down AK drum parts into a housing built off of the PPS50 sstyle....


Probably not cost effective, but hell, everyone needs a hobby

Well heck, those are probably better pictures than I could produce.

But if you need detail pictures, let me know.
