Anyone have any?  How reliable?  How much should a guy pay for them?

According to the Mag-FAQ they are junk and should be avoided.

I have heard that they are great if you clean off all cosmoline and lube them up good.  Maybe they require alittle tweaking, but does anyone else know anything?

They're anything but "great". Kind of like investing in a big, heavy weight for your AR, that in order to loose weight requires constant coddling, and tuning.

If you really want a working drum, get a c-mag. If you don't mind playing with it, get a Chinese.

I've had all 3 types of drums (Chinese,MWG & Beta-c) at one point in time, and the only one worth having if you want a drum is the Beta-C. I never had a problem with the functioning of the drum with the Beta-C drums. You get what you pay for in this case.

And yes I still love my Chi-com 120 drum.

I shot about 1200 rounds thru my chink drum, always ran flawless.
