Here's one from Bob Simpson ...Functional however the retaining nut for the handle has broken away. Also has a dent and is $500 more! I would call that pretty poor.

Drums in general, loaders too... have indeed dropped some in price. Two things come into play here..In my opinion the offering from Numrich Arms of the reproduction drum & loader has an effect. Secondly the economy is a little slower..especially for items in the $1,000 and up catagory. Like the stock market..there are bargains out there...you just have to have some ready cash!

The drum on GB like Eric says has a very short useless description. Pics are very poor. Does it have any spring tension? There are a few important questions that need an answer.

Now if you're looking for a smoking bargain..George Fortier just lowered the price on this AEG drum!
