Well, believe it or not, for the last five months, Non stop! I have been working on / testing / modifying / and upgrading the Numrich repro drum magazine and loader...... And, just this morning, at the range, achieved 100% function, .....
......thru several strings using Winchester Range/ Target ammo.
Although it doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment, it is practically impossible to get that type of performance out of the box stock drum unless some serious modifications are performed.
With the assistance of Don Voigt we have nailed down all the modifications necessary, and are in the final stages of tuning to prepare for re-manufacture of the problem drums that come available. I spent a lot of time, ammo and money on the upgrades, and will for now keep them confidential, but let me just say, they are extensive, and necessary! One of them, as you already know, is the addition of the new mainspring! And that is just the start.... The loading tool has undergone some serious modifications as well. and will be custom matched to the drum it is to service.... It's not going to be a cheap fix, as it isn't cost effective to do in the first place, but if you want to impress your buddies at the range, or want something more than a paper weight, then we are your guys!
... By the way, for the 4 or 5 customers drums we have already worked on, please send them back, I will do the subsequent modifications necessary, no charge, and let you know about several that are an option, but will incur a cost... Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT....
