Looking for a Promag 55rd Drum for Ruger 597 .22 rifle

Been looking everywhere for a Promag 55rd Drum for Ruger 597 .22 rifle.

Anyone know of any shops that still stock these? Cant find even 1

Might be for the best. Don't know about this drum but every other promag mag I've tried sucks.

Did you mean Remington 597?

Agree with above poster, promag is best to stay away from. Temu of firearm accessories.

Promag drum? Would it even work.

I got a promag 25 or 30 round mag for the 597. It holds 8. You can’t shove more than 8 in it. Their engineers just shove a spring in a box and send it, f**k geometry.

Accuracy Plus in Peterborough has the drums.

the 30 round version works well and is already big/heavy when loaded. I wouldn't be pursuing the frying-pan sized version but to each their own.

Pros=look cool, run fine, hold 30
Cons=all plastic even on areas that are high wear, slow to load, pricey, heavy/bulky when loaded

I think it would be fun to have/run one of these....but based on my experience the time spent loading nullifies an almost equal amount of "fun-factor" so after a few mags=more inclined to run the factory 10s
