T81 drums question

[Doogs]

I am thinking about picking up a T81 mag from Tactical Imports. Are the current batch using proper internals or are they the Chinese frankenplate? I only ask because I hear the Chinese plate is a PITA to load.

I believe, I read that current drums supplied come with proper internals.

Ordered one this year as well, they have a rivet with the internals intact.

Drum magazine for Type 81. Fits both standard and LMG versions. 75 size body, riveted to 5.

Drum mags are silly. They are huge and heavy. Just stick w the conventional mag.

You're not wrong, but this is about owning one because I can.

cheaper to buy from ee, i saw one asking $150.

btw, on the contrary, i found the plate easier to load.
