While we are on the topic, has anyone ever seen a converted drum for a 380 small mag? I would love to try making one, but I'm not sure it could feed fast enough.
I am extremely happy with the performance of the Phoenix.
I highly recommend following amphibian's advice and getting a sheet of shim stock to line the interior wall of the can. I did not do so and the fouling is very difficult to remove.
Can anyone get a photo of the internal "small pouch" mentioned above? There's a unit on ebay that has a separator of some kind. If it were full-length to accommodate the detached stock I would buy one immediately.
I'd imagine it's the same as the Vector Uzi drum winder, which is just a PVC cap included up keep your fingers away from the spring-loaded drum internals. Totally unnecessary for operation.
Consider this a plus. Mine has an egged out pin hole and flaps around. I've been meaning to get it fixed but "mail it in and I'll fix it eventually" gunsmithing seems to be standard.
It's a small mag well.
I searched a bit via Google. You'll find a lot of older threads are dead links since the update. If you try to search here via the search tool, it'll tell you a 3-letter search term is too short. That makes "CFW" and "380" a bit of a challenge.
