you forgot the part where you pinch your fingers on one of those sharp pieces in the middle, drop the thing and yell " OH F*CK YOU!" as bullets roll across the floor.
@damarei i agree. a spring isnt going to lose tension when its under load. coil springs on vehicles dont. my XD mags stay loaded all the time, i know ill have a problem with bent feed lips before i have a spring tension problem. its good that you know plumcrazy. good guy.
Didn't think to check the web before trying to load one of those, nearly broke a finger. When the spring is wound and you hit that center release it can shoot sparks out lol. Good job on the video,
@taofledermaus That's an old wive's tale. Compression and release, or compression beyond the spring's limit is the only way to wear out a spring. Look up Young's Modulus for more details.
@mechredd yeah i know ur prob.. the korean drums are ok but the metal is fragile (the spring will easly break in a cold environment and the metal is thin so u gotta take care of it). I recommend the romanian drum because they will last a long time
Thanks for the well done training video. I didn't watch it the last time I loaded my drum and had some problems in the field. I see what I did wrong. Thanks gain!
@taofledermaus i think he meant, after loading it, wind it up. great video by the way. thanks for showing how they feed, i was curious about that part and didnt expect it to be shown
WOW thank you for showing how it really done!!!, i listened to that other video where he winds it up with fingers and mine did bite me, it shaved the skin off my palm better then a razor but only drew blood in a tiny spot thankfully.
@taofledermaus I find you can quickly build up muscle to carry this stuff. I just use socks filled with some scrap metal and fit it to the forearm of my rifle. And then I lift and dry fire it every day. At the end of one month, the drum is usable and standard cap mags are a breeze. ;)
@twj19611015 My original booklet for the non lever type 75 round drums says 7 full revolutions when full and 5 full revolutions for 30 rounds. If fewer revolutions work reliably use them for fun shoots... but for shtf time use the recommended winding for reliable feeding even if a little grit finds it's way in.
I would like to point out that the ammo you use the primes have a red paint on them and will leave a massive ammount of paint behind after you fire these rounds. I used similer ammo in my Nagunt
@taofledermaus duely noted, i was thinking about purchasing a couple of them. if not advised otherwise, i probably would have kept them wound up and ready to do in case SHTF lol
well thats 73 you have to tilt the drum down twards the stem and pull the two rounds out that stop you from rotating the spindle back- then rotate the spindle backwards when it stops you will have room for 4 rounds- the 2 you took out and 2 more. thanks great vid :)
@ReiiDzHD You obviously have never seen a real bullet before, when they are flipped upside down It kind of looks like a battery but you can see the primer and paint on the back of the shell. The reason the paint is on the shell is to keep water from getting inside the casing and when you see him unloading the magazine you can see that they are clearly not batteries they are 7.62x39 rounds
I kinda prefer the mag I have it may take more toime to load it but I do not have to open it at all and still holds 75 rounds. Not sure who the manufacturer is though I bought it with my AK.
If one was to leave this magazine loaded for storage you would leave no spring tension on it? and wind it up when it was go time? or it has to be wound when loaded? Thanks, great Vid
I carefully counted the number of rounds in this drum and in my drum, and compared all the groups of bullets, and both come out to 73 rounds. I found little places to put them before but they don't stand correctly. How the heck do I get the last two in here?
Chinese weapons were originally made on Russian production tooling straight from Russian factories starting with the SKS. The SKS Type 56, at least, even used Soviet-made receivers until the late 50s/early 60's. Until the political split between the two countries, they even had Russian supervision and quality control. Jianshe quality is just as good as Tula. Not as refined as Oberndorf or Springfield, but it works.
Right around 14 pounds. There are so many variants of the Ak47 not to mention there are milled and stamped receiver AK variants so it's hard to say an exact number but I'm going with right around 14 pounds fully loaded. An unloaded AK47 weighs about 7-8 pounds.
@machinegunboy98 The Guy Driving had a full auto M16 to. How the hell did he get a Full auto M16? Most M16 today are Only 3 round or 1. And the Ak47 rounds they had where armor piercing rounds....
Another safe but WRONG way to load this drum mag. This is a 75 round mag loaded with only 73 rounds because he did not preload the riser neck with the first 2 rounds. Always start with carrier rotated all the way counterclockwise so that the follower in seated in the riser neck. Rotate the carrier clockwise (with tension release button depressed) until the follower is in the 2 o'clock position. Load 2 rounds immediately ahead of the follower and hand advance the carrier counterclockwise to push these 2 rounds into the riser neck. The detent spring in the neck will hold them secure while you load the remaining 73 rounds in the manner shown here.
the m4 and m16 are supperior under some circumstances, accuracy , range, magezine speed changes, optic attachments, and the desert enviorment isnt to harsh on them, so the climate that they are in as of right now makes it a win for the colt weapons, not vietnam is a different story, us troops droped the m16 for the ak
FYI, this method only loads 73 rounds into the 75 rounds. Pain in the ass extra steps to get the last 2 rounds in. Idc about 75 vs 73 so I just use this way, way easier.
I've been wanting a drum mag for my AK. I have been able to find Romanian and Korean ones. The Korean mags are a bit cheaper, but I don't know about their reliability. I wont mind paying an extra $10-15 for the Romanian ones if they work better than the Korean. Anyone have any experience with either?
Thanks, your pictures are worth more than 1000 obtuse words on an instruction sheet. But I counted only 70 rounds that you put in -- & the thing is supposed to hold 75???
The Ak is an amazing weapon but being over 60 years old now it is being outpaced by newer higher velocity rounds that deliver the same knock down as 7.62x39mm with greater accuracy over greater ranges and lighter composiote mterials. However thier is a litany of principals that werre laid down by the AK that nearly every modern gun uses in its design. The AK has its place in history as being one of the best but the era that spawned has passed and its time to go the pasture dear Ak.
@titanablaze I finally found it after several 73 round loading videos. Here's how you actually get 75 rounds in. Search for: How the load a 75round Ak47 drum the RIGHT way Uploaded by weaponsgrade47
I don't care that you hate guns, do what you want but don't try to take guns away from people who like them. Thats like me trying to take away your Prius.
On October 25 2011, the United States gaming community established an elite game that settled a feud between 2 major fps shooter games. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of realistic warfare and to ensure that the handful of men who graduated purchasing the right game were the most satisfied gamers in the world. They succeeded. Today all gaming sites and critics voted this game was superior in graphics, storyplay, and online play. COD calls it bullshit. The gamers call it Battlefield 3.
@7Jfigo What happened in Vietnam is that many, many more N Vietnamese soldiers were killed than Americans. But American fought an idealistic no-win war to help the S. Vietnamese. It had nothing to do with the rifles used. The USA could have turned the entire Vietnam back to the stone age in a month had it had such a determination. But the USA was trying to be the Lone Ranger, using silver bullets (that don't poison), shoot the gun out of the bad-guy's hand, & be good-guys.
well that not all thing i know about the ak its serve every country but not general in my country we have alot aks but never used them only in qualified in fire range used soo many times like maybe i clean it like 4 to 5 times its really easy to clean personally i like 47 alot i used to own old folding stick ak47 really good but sad thing troops i was on use M-16-M4 Not A1 its normal M4 With Burst shot not Fully Auto its like M16 Buddy Feel with Short barrel and G3A3 Fixed Stock that all we use
i can list off some american made guns more reliable than the ak47, the pof-usa guns for 1, never need lube, all of the lwrc models with a gas piston, the acr is also quite reliable. im not saying the ak is bad gun, im just saying that there are other fish in the sea. The hk416 and hk417, sig 556, and several others are equally reliable, the ak is great because it is cheap.
I can't thank you enough for not doing an intro and not talking at all. Straight to the info. Fuck yes.
Wow--this was 2009! I am sorry to say I had no idea you had been making videos for so long! Interesting stuff as well!!!
I just got mine today. It came with instructions, but they were unclear at best. Thanks for posting this video, it was a giant help!
congratulations young jimmy, you now have the fire capacity of a battalion of men with muzzle loaders
That's pretty cool, thanks for showing it emptying too, explains how it works really well
you forgot the part where you pinch your fingers on one of those sharp pieces in the middle, drop the thing and yell " OH F*CK YOU!" as bullets roll across the floor.
@damarei i agree. a spring isnt going to lose tension when its under load. coil springs on vehicles dont.
my XD mags stay loaded all the time, i know ill have a problem with bent feed lips before i have a spring tension problem.

I've never seen the inside of a drum mag. That is some pretty sweet engineering!
Didn't think to check the web before trying to load one of those, nearly broke a finger. When the spring is wound and you hit that center release it can shoot sparks out lol. Good job on the video,
Ordered one, confused look, youtube, happy now. Thanks uploader!
@taofledermaus
That's an old wive's tale.
Compression and release, or compression beyond the spring's limit is the only way to wear out a spring.

Awesome Video! Work of art! Always wandered how they worked, buying one as we speak!

Great job like the way you do business! Thanks to Plumb Crazy, l have some of their AR lowers . Semper Fi
Thanks for the time saver man. Have fun and be safe!
@taofledermaus i think he meant, after loading it, wind it up. great video by the way. thanks for showing how they feed, i was curious about that part and didnt expect it to be shown
@Cooley96 LOL actually they are interchangable, as stated on wikipedia.
WOW thank you for showing how it really done!!!, i listened to that other video where he winds it up with fingers and mine did bite me, it shaved the skin off my palm better then a razor but only drew blood in a tiny spot thankfully.
very nice video, where did you buy that drum mag, and how does it fire, ive heard conflicting stories about the reliability of the drum mags
@taofledermaus I find you can quickly build up muscle to carry this stuff. I just use socks filled with some scrap metal and fit it to the forearm of my rifle. And then I lift and dry fire it every day. At the end of one month, the drum is usable and standard cap mags are a breeze. ;)
@DanielDFizzle
I only counted 70. The instructions say it only holds 73, unless you do some extra hoop-jumping to get 75 in.
@twj19611015 My original booklet for the non lever type 75 round drums says 7 full revolutions when full and 5 full revolutions for 30 rounds. If fewer revolutions work reliably use them for fun shoots... but for shtf time use the recommended winding for reliable feeding even if a little grit finds it's way in.

This is indeed the correct way, sir.

Sweet. Just picked up a South Korean copy of the Chicom drum..... The directions were...... Interesting. Lol, Much better here!
@shtfuk668
the instructions say it holds 73 rounds, but you can get 75 in, if you are willing to jump through some extra hoops.
could you make a video of a breakdown of these by chance? mine is screwed up, needs some working, Great video by the way; right to the point
@FrogMike81
But would you want to leave it loaded a long time before firing? Wouldn't that possibly damage the spring?
well thats 73 you have to tilt the drum down twards the stem and pull the two rounds out that stop you from rotating the spindle back- then rotate the spindle backwards when it stops you will have room for 4 rounds- the 2 you took out and 2 more. thanks great vid :)

GREAT VIDEO, SWEET AND SIMPLE!! NO ROTATING UNDER TENSION, HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE!! A-1
If one was to leave this magazine loaded for storage you would leave no spring tension on it? and wind it up when it was go time? or it has to be wound when loaded? Thanks, great Vid
@taofledermaus i was thinking about getting 2 to start with and mainly sticking with the 30 rnd mags
I carefully counted the number of rounds in this drum and in my drum, and compared all the groups of bullets, and both come out to 73 rounds.
I found little places to put them before but they don't stand correctly. How the heck do I get the last two in here?
Excellent, I thought that other video winding the spring back looked a bit... dangerous.
What are these rounds?????Sorry i am new to guns and on the ammo they use!
Are they some short og NATO amunition?

@ScopedPewPew
What new car is better than an 57 Chevy?
@taofledermaus
What's your reason against storing it "wound up"?
Right around 14 pounds. There are so many variants of the Ak47 not to mention there are milled and stamped receiver AK variants so it's hard to say an exact number but I'm going with right around 14 pounds fully loaded. An unloaded AK47 weighs about 7-8 pounds.
@VinylScratch3 Thank you, stopped me from looking for it.
plumcrazy is a great guy!!!
@ReiiDzHD wait how are those batteries? have you ever seen a bullet?
Are these CA legal?

Want the same video about russian drum mag for rpk
I am really confused on how you start off loading one area, then jump all over the place, seemingly randomly. Is there a purpose to that?
Fuckin love this music for some reason, great video too dude, very helpful.
My friend had a 75rd mag too.. he said it jammed a lot, is that true?
Thanks for the music link. Will check it out.

i never realized a gun needs so many double A batteries to run it, thnx for the video
how many ammo did I have for just ONE shot????
how would you load it if you were only putting 50 round in?
@tiprodoc
Also good for some bump firing.
FYI, this method only loads 73 rounds into the 75 rounds. Pain in the ass extra steps to get the last 2 rounds in. Idc about 75 vs 73 so I just use this way, way easier.
ive always wondered. whats that square lookin ring on the outside for?
Tie it to you or your belt
I feel there's better utilizations than that.
Quite possibly I just can't think of any other than those 🤣

song?
How it's called that song ??
What about the empty middle circle ??
