Large Drum Mag for Thompson 10/22?

[Drachenblut]

Hello,

I am soon to be in possession of a Ruger 10/22 with a Thompson 1920's sub-machine gun make-up kit. The drum mag that comes with it is a 10 round magazine. Is there any way to extend this to use the rest of the magazine, or is there a chance I could buy a compatible drum magazine with, say 100+ rounds? To my knowledge, in rim fire semi-autos, the magazine is not restricted?
Also, will a "Hot Lips" Loader work with these drum mags to facilitate loading quickly?

Thanks,
Drach

There's the Promag 50 rounders. hical.ca sells them on his website for $98 each, though they are a phone in order item only.

No mag restrictions on a rimfire rifle mag, 50 seems to be the highest capacity. Loaders dont work on drums, but they have a built in ratchet loader to load 5 rounds easily at 1 time. Most customers are reporting 100% reliability on the new Promag drums. Pm or call in for more info.

Excellent. I will see about ordering one up. *thinks* I wonder if a WWII style MG-42 snail drum could be repurposed... hmmm
