Dang, now I guess my AEG comes close to being just a pretty paperweight. No problem, I never intended to shoot with it anyway.

Nice work GT, you have elevated nit picking to a fine art. Keep up the good work.

Ahhhh, but this time, we was ready!

This AEG drum was in better shape than the other one I worked on, but pop corn fart dry inside. Soooo, clean and lube and reset the mainspring, than off to the test bench! Regular 9mm ball ammo, not a chance in hell will any of them work with this drum! So, I immeadiatly drag out my new AEG Kryptonite!!!!!

and that would be FIOCCHI FMJTC and loaded it up! Whamo! Like oats thru a goose or gas thru a funnel! It worked great! And now, I'm starting to think there was an early ammo directive that all this special gear was designed around? This drum was in the 50,000 serial range. That ain't many when you have the attrition of a two, (or more) front war! Anyone else see this with their AEG drums? Kind of interesting... best to all, til.....lat'r....GT...
