The list is endless really..Belt sander, grinder, jackhammer..explosives..well you get the idea. What you really need is some fine measureing tools and the ability to determine where the stoppage is. Trouble is once you are comitted..you own the drum after the first file nick. Could be just a small adjustment. I would start with measuring up and down the magazine..Maybe the mouth or feed lips are a couple of thousands too wide?

I had a chance to try the Trommel on other Lugers. Almost fits the 18' artillery, won't begin to enter the 17' artillery. Fits perfectly in my 20' commercial with a 4" barrel. I guess I'll just have to put the 20' commercial lower on my artilleries when I want to shoot them. Numrich sends a letter with these and you can return them if they don't work. I don't think it's a sly way to get out of replacing them as some have said, but an honest claim about automatic weapons. I've been in class 3 full auto weapons for 20+ years and I can tell you, a mag that runs good in one gun can be awful in another gun. I look forward to range testing these.

Default Success, well sort of

Finally got my Numrich Trommel magazine to the range. At first, it would not feed. After comparing the feed lips with the regular magazine, it was apparent the Trommel mag lips were much too close. Carefully using pliers, I gently opened both lips and it fed fine after that. If you remember my earlier post, the only lower this would fit in was my 1920 commercial. Using that lower and my 1918 artillery upper, we got it to load and eject properly. Success, well almost. Although it went through the function cycle it just did not recoil enough to re-set it. So I had to manually reset it before each shot. I believe this to be an ammunition problem with loads too light. I'm going to load some slightly hotter ammo to kick it back just a little more to reset it on each shot. I think (hope) my problems are over.
