Overview
This 50-round drum is built for extended .22 LR range sessions where fewer reloads matter, especially with AR-15/M16 setups using a CMMG .22 LR conversion kit or similar Atchisson-type system. Its injection-molded polycarbonate construction and smoke finish give it a practical, straightforward look, while the full-body design is intended to handle like a mil-spec magazine. It can be disassembled for cleaning, and instructions are included for maintenance. As noted by the manufacturer, some fine tuning may be needed to ensure proper feeding in full-auto rifles.
