does anyone know if any company offers a drum magazine for an M-1 carbine? id like to have one like those double sided 100 round mags ive seen on some AR types :full:

Never even heard of such a critter! Biggest thing I've seen are some aftermarket 40s.

whirlwind · 09-22-2004, 10:22 PM

i dream big! hahahaha i wish someone did make one.

You know, that is a cool idea. With the thin base of the carbine round, I could see it making a handy drum that isn't too big at all. Now you've got me thinking... and I don't even have an M1 Carbine... yet

There was one at the last gun show. It was a mere $350 or maybe as low as $300, I forget which... But it was a Universal. Now I've saved a Uni and could save this one too. It also comes with a Choate Pistol grip stock, my preference actually. It's a whopping deal with that stock, but I haven't been able to justify a carbine since AKs are cheaper and shoot a cheaper and more powerful round. But I might just have to get this one and build drum for it.

One thing that would be cool is an X39 Saiga with the standard stock, 20" barrel, and a drum. It would be harder to make US compliant than the standard P-grip conversion, but holding it that high with the drum so low would really balance it out, at least I would think so. I think someone on Saiga-12.com or Gunsnet did that to a 16" one.

PAPA G · 09-28-2004, 08:10 AM

if the demand is there, they will make it :ballons:

Gunnie Ed · 04-24-2005, 08:44 PM

when i get my certification, i'll make some.

BattleRifleG3 · 04-24-2005, 10:27 PM

What sort of certification? No gunsmithing licenses are needed for magazines alone.

Big Dog · 04-25-2005, 07:55 AM

Technically, it should be easy enough! We just need the demand. I'd be willing to spring for one! Even a Suomi or PPSH style drum would be cool. :right:

FWIW someone already has a 60 round stick available. I don't know how reliable it is, but it is out there now.

If they are anything like the 40+ round AR15 magazines it will be 2 cheap aftermarkets welded together or something. I wouldn't trust a regular aftermarket 30 rounder in my M1, I wonder if those 60 rounders even feed more than 3 in a row?
I know they also make the 40 rounders too.
