    I heard that they will be making drums for .308 weapons such as the HK91 and FAL, I hadn't heard anything about AK's

    I'm still hoping for somebody to make that beta-c mag for my ruger 10/22 someday.

    Well here is the link to their new products http://www.betaco.com/newproducts.asp. Did you see the weight on the loaded .308 10.5lbs [:0][:0][:0], the .223 is only 4.6lbs. The AK would be ok, but there are enough of the drums out there for half the price that you wont see a beta soon. I would like to see a .45 cal one though, but I am sure the weight would be huge on that one too. I think I am going to have to get some clear covers though.

    Just remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people asking questions.

    The 7.62x39 round has a heavy taper to it and a larger case diameter, I'd be hesitant to attempt retooling a .223 mag to fit it. Get an AK drum, I got a bunch or the 75rd and 100rd drums and they are a lot less expensive than the C-mag. Or get a .223 AK and an AR mag adapter

    KJ, my bad... this Beta would be for a 223 Norinco, I can't find a drum that fits ( in 223) I plenty of 75's for the 7.62, 223 ak mags are kinda high, so I want a Drum or Beta for 223. If anyone has one let me know, the one on GB wont fit, mag body was to wide( might be for Galil, or Norinco is odd size not sure) any help! thanks again

    Dear J. Cruez,

    we are very pleased about your interest in our C-MAG
    product and thank you
    for your support.

    Although we do not have any current plans for a
    7.62x39mm C-MAG, we may
    consider it in the future.

    Best regards.

    Silvia Kaiser-Block

    im gonna get the steel drums for the 7.62's i have
    but there is nothing for my .223 and 5.45 AK's


    also i raised the issue on AK47.net,.. and alot of guys there scoffed at the idea of a beta for AK's,....but i would love to see them for the 5.56/.223 and 5.45

    $#!+,.. for that price i can buy a beta and a bulgy waffel mag, chop it all up and make it work.

    thats the draw back to my .223 AK,..mags are a bee-otch to find,..
    if you do make a few and need a tester to give them a good shake down ill be glad to help.
