50 round drum

[CajunMouseSniper]

Has anyone used the 50 round drum from Black Dog Machine? Price is a little steep at $90, but it would be nice not to have to reload as often.

I doubt the experience was satisfactory since the note states:

"This drum will not work on the 10.22, the Puma/PPS50, M261, Colt/DPMS kits, Carbon 15, nor the S&W M&P 15.22." (emphasis added)

The price is keeping me from trying one. I've got ten 25 round for mine. Keeps me occupied for a couple of minutes

from their website: " New from Black Dog Machine LLC the long awaited S&W M&P 15.22 50 round drum.

These are modified AR15.22 Drums. They have been epoxied for extra strength and then CNC milled to fit in your S&W mag well.

This drum will not work on the 10.22, the Puma/PPS50, M261, nor any other AR15.22 type conversion units."
Where did you see other info.?

That's for an AR15 with a .22 conversion. The link that dakewlndn posted is to a 50 round drum that is made for a S&W 15-22.

It is pretty tempting... If I wouldn't have bought a .22 conversion for my 1911 last week I would buy one right now!

Honestly at only 50 rounds, I'd rather just load standard mags and change them. For some odd reason I have a feeling this drum mag is a bear to load...

this could answer the question if the mags are to blame for some of the problems.

I'm interested to know if it has the same tempermental issues when trying to stager rds as the gen 1 mags do. Looking forward to your review Beltfed.

Also I noticed they have a 50 rd drumb tower conversion kit. I wonder if there is a way to adapt that to other .22 drumbs/mags that don't currently fit the 15-22?

honestly.. if these run well id rather have a couple of these... i keep hearing people say they can mag change mags pretty quick and they then have 50 rds just like these hold.. but if ive got 1 of these and 2 back up mags im toating 100 rds down range on a tac coarse between this and my pistol... i may not even need the mag changes but more time plinking is more time plinking
