medphys said:I'm interested
strobro32 said:OK, here's what I speculate.
The drums could be modified into a Beta C drum configuration. Because they are feeding the same direction the drums would need to feed toward each other but off center. The Rounds would then be directed up into a modified Suomi mag.
Vegas SMG said:How's your memory? Stoney Creek promised the same thing but it never went into production. In fact, I never saw video of it running. Come to think of it, they couldn't get their single feed, single drum Soumis to run correctly.
I'm truly not being negative, it's just that I've watched people make or attempt to convert these drums for well over a decade and the successful makers charged big bucks for their time and skill. Think of the ammo costs just to function test. I really want you guys to succeed!

strobro32 said:farthergoat, I feel your pain. I've been there so many times. What are you going to change?

In my test today I had the same problem with the first rounds nosediving...
After I tried the full drum I gave it an extra turn and shot the remaining 15+ rounds I had with no malfunctions. The extra turn may help.
I've been think about this. The zip ties that HVAC guys use are like three feet long and should be about perfect size if ran in a top and bottm row. Also they are like 50c each and one would do like two magsstrobro32 said:Looks good!
Maybe somebody can chime in with the higth and width of the nylon strip.

The ones I get are really stiff and slick. I can mail you one if you decide you want to try it outmedphys said:I have some of those in my garage, but they seem too soft and sticky. I'm not sure if they would work, but it's worth a try.
