I bought a Korean 75rd drum a few months ago, I probably should have bought a Romanian but I was at a gun show and didn't see anything else that I wanted so I went ahead and bought it. I loaded it and wound it and released the spring tension a few times just to familiarize myself with how it worked. I took it out shooting once and everything worked fine. The next time I tried loading it I tried winding it up and it won't hold spring tension. I can wind it one half turn and it will hold but if I try turning it again you can hear and feel the spring slip and lose tension. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
I took it apart and I don't see anything wrong with it but then again, I don't have another one to compare it to. |

The wind up spring breaks loose, and the key no longer can wind it up.
Saw details on this a while back, I cant recommend a fix. Was this a "Brand" drum? IE, glossy color packaging, or just in a plain cardboard box? I ask because I have the first, early import ones, which were bulk packed for US military testing and use, the latter stuff were dedicated imports for the US market, and there has been, at least as I see, it, a big difference in quality, between the first import, and later stuff. |

I made the mistake of buying Korean mp5 mags, shoddy quality. I've never had problems with my romy AK wind up drums that I got from copes, I'd just check where it catches for tension, see of the cam thing is still there Ya, I should have known better....I doubt it's fixable so I'll probably have to check Copes like you said. |
