Dwight, I have taken the cover off of my drum mag before. You do have the follower spring to deal with, but that is not under much tension. The main coil spring is enclosed inside another housing. I did NOT attempt to open this one. You will need a loading tool to get more than 7-9 rounds in it. Both real and repro are seen on Ebay from time to time. Repro's still sell for $350+.
