Yep! And the tip is included too.

I called to see about making an order or getting to do a back order. I also had a long wait; was told that item is discontinued. I asked about in a few months and she kept saying: item is discontinued.

See Jerry? Just what I claimed!

See Jerry? Just what I claimed! Aaron OK..which claim are you claiming..they one where you claim these are made in the USA? Or the one where you say there won't be anymore offered?

If I am reading all this right Jack asked about in a few months and she kept saying: item is discontinued. I talked with a rep the other day and he said call later when they are again in stock.

I think depending on accurate information from a phone rep is like believing a politician..none of them know what's going on.

Don't forget about our bet..I'm working up an appatite for a big ole burger!

Well, I got mine. Looks good, exactly as Jerry described. However I've not had a chance for a range test, so I'll defer for now.

I wanted to see the range report before I dropped the coin on one of these sets. Now that I see they are a good thing, they are sold out/discontinued. Just my luck.

Too bad you weren't aware thst they were returnable with no questions asked. This was an absolute win win situation.

Aaron,

I didn't see that written anywhere the the description, had I know that, I would have pulled the trigger on one without a second thought. Lets just hope they get some more.

I had a chance to take mine to the range tonight. Sort of a rush deal so not a lot of time for problem-solving.
First of all it will not accept my normal 115 gr. FMJ re-loads because of length. They are at, as I recall, 1.132" OAL. The drum would not accept S&B 115 FMJ either, but would take Federal hollow points, so that's what I used.
At the range it would frequently not push the next round up into position fast enough. Sort of glitchy feeling, usually would pop one up in time or with light tapping. The last 15 rounds or so did feed correctly however.
Sometimes the spring plate/cover would show a slight gap along the lower edge. I tightened the axle bolt and that seemed to help.
I loaded the drum prior to leaving home and didn't have extra (short) ammo, so no reloads were possible at the range.
Back at home I took it all apart and used some white Lubri-Plate grease sparingly around the inside of the drum, but the actual drum spring is enclosed and not easily accessible. I also noticed that the wall thickness on the mag body was way thicker than a nickle plated WW1 mag. that was handy for comparison. Especially in the feed ramp area.
I squeezed some reloads down to 1.062" OAL and they seem to now fit the mag. body, however manually cycling them thru the drum and gun suggested that they were still slow to advance/feed.
I'll work on it as time allows and keep you all posted.
At this point I have considered returning it for a refund, but will probably keep it and try to sort it out. It does have a way-cool factor and may become a personal challenge. I do worry about breaking something and ending up with a pile of worthless parts with no spares available.

the follower is the only thing I see breaking anytime soon. But I bet theres a metal guy or two round here that could help out. Also mine works way better when you release the mag tension once you done loading. Can you believe it?

:roflmao:

Lugerskewl:
Can you use any standard length ammo in yours?

I do some video on YTube , the trommels work well even with lead bullet .
I only use my reload cartridges in standard length : 29mm

I used Pvp Or Pmp ,privassi ? Its all I could find at walmart and seemed to work well once I released the spring.
