I ordered a drum mag with mine, I have never used a drum mag before and being limited to only 5 rounds is it a real pain to load? I mainly just got one drum for looks don’t think I will actually use it as by some of the videos I watched it doesn’t look worth it to open it up and load only 5. Unless there is a way I’m not seeing to load them from the top like a normal mag?

I want to know some info about these drum mags myself, TI states these are "blocked" to 5 rounds, does that mean the internals are messed with ? Screwed up? Gutted ?

Does "blocked" mean riveted/pinned?

I want to know this for when the US border finally opens i can bring these down to my friends ranch and remove the "block" and use them at full 75 round capacity ?
 
Honestly I don't understand please enlighten me! Why would one prefer the park finish over blued? The way I see it park is more durable and that is the only positive it has. You would thing the blued would be more valuable due to the fact that it is the finish a "correct" t81 lmg would have and that all mags will also be blued so the blued gun would match better?

For those who bought them, its too bad TI(not the rapper;) )didn't do a sid by sid photo! The pics on both pages seemed identical. Maybe one of you gun nutz who bought both could do a nice side by side to show us what we missed!

Mehh had to tell, of course TI has said that they where modified permanently with a block, they can't really say otherwise in fear of being visited by the rcmp. I guess once you get it you will be able to observe yourself.

Bluing rusts and scratches much easier that's about it. The pics look similar but the parkerizing is more matte then the blue. I personally think blue looks better but bought parkerized for that reason. As for "correct colour" both are as these are not the real military version as we don't have assault rifles/military rifles available to civilians besides a few obsolete bolt guns and semi autos from ww2. Neither at retail were more "valuable" as they were the same price but what will make the parkerized worth more is 1, a better stronger finish and 2, there is less of them..probably atleast 50%-75% less assuming the batch sizes were the same this time and next time. And yes blue should match better but barely as the mags are just accessories, my ar has different colour mags and they all look good.

You won't get the gun across the border so you want to take the mags down ?

I too am worried about that, if they are gutted or butchered then I wouldn't of bought them. Im hoping a "block" is no more then a pin welded inside like the sks mags were.

Also the rifle won't be allowed into the states and the mags probably wouldn't be allowed back out...assuming they were allowed in too.

I'd probably say more, maybe 700-800 at least? I'd bet a number of people bought 2 or more, I've heard rumors of maybe a few people buying 10 at a time.

I didn't think about that, you must be right, I know a guy who bought 5 in 2 separate orders.
 
Ya, well, I got dozen+a gazzilion + ####.ton of all extras!! Sooo oh ya, + a thousand & more! No, I'm lie, I sawwi... I'm jealous. :( 4give pew~
