Fantastic! Hope to have the same someday. Is the Trommel case original? I'd be happy with a modern made example. Thanks for the "Bring & Brag".

All the better! Can't be many of those surviving. Quite the find.

Eric, That is a real nice grouping and photo you have there!!! Is the P Kasten one of the reproductions Jerry B and company teamed up to build? They were very true to original in detail and a work of art. I think that on all made, the bottoms were branded as such.
Enclosed is a pic one of my originals. Yes, it is full of trommels, and loader. John |

Have any of you used the Trommels?
If so how well did they function?. Many high capacity magazines jam a lot curious |

Quote:
they work fine : original- in good shape, some have problems; Numrich reproductions- if you improve them a little or a lot, depends on what you get; better to buy one of GT's already reworked trommel mags from them - be sure to ask for and verify the circled GT stamp. GT has posted about the mods and there are other threads on use of these.
