I have this little book here that I picked up cheap called "The Complete Kalashnikov Family of Assault Rifles", and found some info in it.

It's talking about 40-rd RPK-74 magazines.

Anyone in the US sell these?  Is there a such thing as an AK-74 (5.45) drum?

I have that book.  It's a little outdated, as it was written before the import ban, and the fall of the Soviet Union.  

The RPK-74 magazines are 45-rounders, and can be found, but normally not from actual distributors.   They are rare enough to be pretty pricey.  

There are no drums for 5.45, altough there is a "coffin" mag which uses a quad-stack mechanism.  I don't think any pre-ban coffin mags are in the US though.  

Hit various sites classifieds/equiptment exchange boards and keep an eye out.  That's about the best bet.

Hmmm,

How about a 50 rounder?



I really love mine.
I have a conection, but he isnt ready to sell in mass numbers. Once he does I'll let you all in on it.
