Instructions for Loading:
1. Clean the heavy oil from the drum with some Gun Scrubber, you will need to re-oil it when loaded for proper feeding.
2. Release the 2 cover latches at the top to open the cover.
3. Push the locking/unlocking shaft with firm, sharp pressure using your thumb to release any pressure on the main spring, please use caution when releasing spring.
4. With the locking shaft still depressed, wind the spindle clockwise until the follower returns to the beginning of the spiral to release the shaft.
5. Load 5 rounds of your ammo, point-down, into the top of the drum along the largest diameter of the drum, just under the tower, loading in a clockwise direction.
6. Firmly hold the spindle to add two clicks in a clockwise direction using the small winding ke.
7. Slowly release the spindle and allow the 5 rounds to load into the tower.
8. Turn the spindle clockwise and remove 2 of the last rounds loaded and continue to turn the spindle clockwise until it returns to the end of the spiral track (starting position) and add those 2 rounds into the top of the drum in the same place you just loaded the first 5 rounds.
9. The spindle will be locked in position and you can release it and continue loading until 75 rounds are in the drum.
10. Close the cover and secure the latches.
11. Use the main winding key and turn it about 10 good turns or clicks. As you turn the key, you will hear and feel the spring as it clicks, over-winding is not recommended.

Please note if you are loading to put the drum in storage for future use, do all the loading, but only wind the main key 1 or 2 clicks to keep pressure on the loaded ammo. Save the winding till you are ready to fire.

Reviewer: Raybo
ive never had a better shooting drum.Leave loaded and when ready to fire just wind.Ive shot over 900 hundred rounds through it and never had a problem.The reason it doesn't fit very well and even wobbles in the romanian is because that was a Clinton ban gun.They were made during the clinton administration to satisfy him.They were made to shoot only the ten round clip that was made for only that gun.After the ban was up the started to grind the receiver open untill the high cappacity clips would fit but they fit real loose and very cheaply made.The gun itself is almost just a collectors item to remind us of the jokes that washington plays on the people that take care of them.

Reviewer: Christine
My boyfriend took me to the range with a couple of his AK Draco pistols. We loaded up the drums and had a great time! They are sooo much fun! They give your gun a powerful look. We went to a big gun show and saw only one of these for sale. It was about double the price that Cheaper than Dirt lists. It's a great bargain here, since these are in extremely short supply. Anything that is related to the AK-47 seems to be going up in value, and the drums are no exception.

Having been a customer of CTD almost since it's inception I can honestly say that it's been a pleasure dealing with them. You guys have the best customer service on the web! (thank you for providing customer service that means direct contact with another human being who actually speaks english!) Keep up the good work! I have an original 1980's era Chinese version of this magazine that I paid about $200 for back before the '94 ban went into effect. These are EXACT copies of this proven design and were/are still issued for use in the RPK light machine-gun. As an avid and known GUN-NUT I can say that anybody who tries to put 100 rds into a 75 rd drum is an idiot. Plain and simple. When loaded and maintained properly these work flawlessly in every type of Kalashniclone I've fired it through. At current count it's 3 different Romanian SLR's, 1 Bulgarian SAR1, 3 Chicom type 57's, 2 Yugoslavian MAK90's and 1 Maadi (you wanna see the difference between a good cheap AK and a real junky POS set a Romanian next to a Maadi ;) The commies know how to make it cheap and still maintain a measure of ruggedness that's fit for combat. If you hate reloading or just want that Tommy gun look without the $1500 price tag then this is the way to go... I also suggest the AK vertical foregrip here at CTD to complete that Chicago Typewriter look.
5.0 Rating Best bargain! - 1/2/2009Mag AK-47 Drum 75 Rounds 7.62x39 Loads from back Bulgarian Manufactured Chinese Style with windup key5.0000
Reviewer: miserly marksman
These drum magazines are probably the best bargain at CTD. They are very high quality, and work with a rugged clockwork wind-up action. They cycle each bullet in an amazingly smooth manner. As soon as I got mine, I tested it at the range with different ammo types. After many hundreds of rounds, there were absolutely no problems. We tried the drum with a Yugo M70AB2 and a Bulgarian SSR-85c, both higher quality versions of the AK-47. I am frugal to a fault, and CTD has the best deals. Most other suppliers ran out and can't get any more. Thank you Cheaper Than Dirt!

Reviewer: Shootist
I saw one of these at a gun show at a much higher price, and the guy buying it got the last one. They are a great value at CTD, and extremely hard to find anywhere else. I tried one and it was easier to load than any other mag I've ever seen. It fed bullets efficiently in a smooth synchronized manner. These should be a great investment. If gun laws chenge, then these will be grandfathered in. These are already banned in some states. Buy now while you still can! I teach a firearms safety class, and everyone in the class was told to stock up now on high cap mags, especially drums!
