AK47 75rd KCI Drum broke

[rangerstx4]

Anyone had issues with these drums? Reviews on Classic Firearms looked fantastic. I opened it today, loaded it per the YouTube instructions, and it was down hill after that with jams and fail to feeds.
So did I do something wrong or.....just luck of the draw and it was made Friday at 4:55pm.

South Korea magazines and drums don't have the best reputation for being reliable.

KCI was at the big sandy MG shoot, handing out loaded drum's from a little red wagon,.
As long as they could film, you could keep the drum and shoot the ammo in it.

We had to go through 5 drum's, and 5 take's to get (1/ONE) that would run all 75.

A bunch of us told them 3 years ago that the drum's needed a auto sear cut in the tower and the lips were wrong.
POS in my opinion

My .01c

Thats weird. I have one too and the only issue is sometimes a nosedive. I could mostly eliminate that though.

I personally stay away from anything KCI. I'd rather spend more and have a long lasting product. As for wind-up drums, I'd go for chinese if you can find it, then romanian new production. I wouldn't go any lower than that.
