How good are the Romanian drums

[Beachman]

The ones that open in the back like these:

They have come down in price recently to a point where I am wondering if they are reliable or not.

I bought some and I havent ran them all (ammo cost and all), but they look exactly like the chinese.

I think I did run 1 just to see how it would do. I cant recall having any trouble from ANY drum for an AK.

Hopefully others can be more helpful, but I would have no objection to ordering any of the drums available (Romanian, Chinese, Bulgarian, or Korean).

If I didnt have Romy drums, I'd order some for that price...as is though I need Korean and bulgarian so I'd be stuck ordering from centerfire for $70 on their Korean ones.

Did you have to modify them in any way to get them to work?

I have one for my Draco. It works fine. A lot better than my L drum for the Thompson or my MD-20 drum for the Saiga. No issues with it. Its easy to load. Fits fine. Actually is a convienent design for getting the spring tension off and unloading the thing.

AIM is selling the 75-round Korean drums for $49.95 each if you buy 2 or more... while supplies last:

So, I bought two. I hardly ever use my 100 round Chinese drum, but at this price it seems silly not to get a couple more drums just in case.

Cheers,
