just my little .02, great mag works wonderful easy to load. light weight a tad heavier than two 25 rounders taped together. like any drum mag, its faster to shoot it than it is to load it. Speaking of loading, it doesnt take that long to load. roughly the same amount of time it does to load two regular mags. not really all that bulky. as soon as i can figure out how to put pictures up i will have a few of the rifle and the drum mag
 
I've been toying around with the idea of these, just for fun.
 
its fun, im getting a pouch to carry it in. for 80 bucks it was well worth it! planning on getting the .22lr tracers. havent fed the drum with lead ammo, only copper plated so far.
 
Here in Commifornia, we only dream of that... But I am assured by our politicans that all criminals that attack us are under 10 thugs per attack, thus the 10 mag will work fine for us poor citizens who have no clue how to handle a high capacity magazine....

I think I know how to fix this law. Have the Police and secret service Officers that secure these same politician only carry 10 rounds, and see what they say... Yea, do what I say, not what I do..
 
The folks at black dog need to work on a 100 rounder. 50 seems a bit low for a big drum mag.
 
Round count on the drum isnt what some guys want, but hey its the cool factor that counts for me and the fact my drum works better than a friend promag for the ruger.
 
I wonder if they can make me a Drum w a 10 Rnd limiter.
Just so I can clip it on and be legal in NY. :lol
 
Word of caution!

Do not use any chemicals on the Black Dog Magazine(s).

I used M-Pro7 to clean a few of mine (Dedicated .22lr upper) and they were ruined. Little hairline cracks throughout the magazine(s), two actually had the feed lips blow off in the safe.

In talking to BD, the polymer they use is from the bullet proof glass family, they said that most chemicals would harm, only use mild soap and water to clean...

BD replaced two of the magazines, I'm just passing this on to avoid others having the same issue.
 
@ ChattanoogaPhil got a slide fire before I got the drum. Currently waiting for my new triigger assembly so I can get it working with the stock. Besides near the trigger guard, any other filing need?

Don't know,all I have seen is the reviews online.
 



Video of mine running cheap Remington Thunderbolt non plated ammo.
 
Does bolt stay back?

Does the bolt of your 15-22 stay back after the last shot when using the drum?
 
the drum doesnt lock the bolt back. nice video of it working with the slide fire. what ammo where you using jw?

The Slide Fire V2 (modified version) will work with the winter trigger guard (no filing required). I just completed the installation on my M&P 15-22.

Remington Thunderbolt 40 grain nonplated round nose. $1.94 a box at Wal-Mart (50) that's 500 for $20. Cheap and has a weaker primer unlike the cci which tend to have hard primers that induce multiple ftf because of the lighter hammer spring.
 
You can also get Federal Lightning at WM. Used to be $1.47/50 and I think it is $1.97/50 now. Fed primers are usually the lightest ones out there.

Thanks for that info. I keep them sold out of the others.
 
Anybody found these for any cheaper? $80 seems rediculas for a 50 rounder, I would be all over it for 100 round, but I can buy 4 25 round mags for less than $80, seems kinda pointless when all it would take is a few seconds to pop a new mag in.
 
In this case you get what you pay for. They are very high quality and you can tell it when you hold it look at it and shoot it.

My mags for my Tactical Solutions 22 1911 conversion run 50 to 70 a pop for 10 round mags. However they're milled out of aluminum and have a slide stop feature unlike most any other "cheaper" mags out there including blackdog.

In the few seconds it takes you too drop and insert another mag I can fire my remaining 25 rounds and be off to reloading again myself. More lead down range. Necessary? Nope...but awesome nonetheless.
