Drum revision progress!
Hello to all! Well, it's time for a progress report, and it is safe to say, we are up to our neck in drums right now! I have approximately 40 units(both customers & Numrich stock) that I spent the last three days disassembling and will now prep for revision and /or repair... (considerable amount of both!) . Anyway, Numrich now has a grand total 17 revised drums, and in approximately a month, if all goes well, they will have another 35! ... I am sending them back completed in a quantity of five drums in a shipment.... Doesn't sound like much, but you kinda need to be here to understand!??? Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT....

I came across this pic in a book on machine guns and thought it was of interest. It raises the question: Which came first? The artillery drum or the submachine gun drum???

artillery drum - I was told these were used post-war and required an adapter
of course I could be wrong but that is what I was told |

Which came first? The artillery drum or the submachine gun drum??? Ed is absolutely correct. The sub Machine gun that used the Artillery drum with the adapter was the MP 18. 1918.
