MK760 mag questions?

[John Matrix]

Hello,
I just bought one of these MK760's. I've always liked this style of gun and the S&W's have gotten expensive.
The gun is coming with 10 mags but I still have a few questions.
Are there any drums for this gun. What about the cool 76 drum on the web page picture? What about the quad stack Soumi mags? Will they work?
Thanks
Chip

I think with the 760 you are stuck with the stick mags... Unless you can find someone who can weld the 760 tower on the top of a 72 round soumi drum... Several people have tried and I am not aware of anyone doing so currently...

The 50 round coffins and drums will fit int he Swedish K if you have the removable mag well....

Also I have heard you can use the Soumi 32 round stick mags in your 760.... I think you need just a little modifing to them... If I remember the original 760 mags are pretty expensive...

John, M60Joe makes a Beta mag adaptor for your MK-760. M60Joe (http://users.zoominternet.net/~picplace/mk760accessories.htm)

Good luck with your gun.

The MK760 originals mags are not worth a crap. I have 6 and they are only taking up space in the #2 safe. The lips are rough, practically unfinished. These mags also have a lot of forward/rearward play in the magwell, to the point pulling rearward on them while shooting decreases the feed angle to the point of jamming. Hopefully your's is coming with 36rd Suomi mags (with the front pad filed down where they fit your gun). Buy an M-42 leather mag bag from Sarco or one of those suppliers, it holds 8 36rd mags, is leather and has a shoulder strap. Also buy a Swedish M-45 loader and as many stripper clips as your can find. Once you load a few mags by hand you will understand why. Some people are welding the Suomi mags together. I have a 60rder and an 80rder. C & S Metalworks did make a SW76 drum that will fit the MK760. I purchased about the last one C&S had when ATF told them to stop. It is a 72rder. Stoneycreek MAY be making one, I am not sure. And there is a Beta tower available as indicated above
