DefencePort - DRM-12 - Clear Cover, 12 Ga - Premium Grade 20 Round Drum Mag - Fits MKA1919, AR-12, Panzer, Tokarev , Etc. Made In Turkey- DRM-12-Clear

DefencePort DRM-12: What a cool drum, and honestly of all the drums on the market for the AR-12 platform shotguns, I think this may be my favorite. This drum magazine is made to fit all of your standard AR12-style shotguns from major importers like Panzer Arms and SDS. This drum holds twenty 12...

I have some of their 5 and 10 rounders and they have worked fine so far.
 
Don't have one but I've heard they're decent. Hopefully someone has direct experience because my VRF14 needs a good drum...
 
So I just loaded it up for tomorrow, a few observations:

- looks very solid and locks up efffortlessly in my GF99
- does not drop free when empty, you have to pull it just a bit
- does hold 20 rounds as advertised
- manual makes loading it sound way more complicated than it really is, it's actually very intuitive, you just twist the knob enough to get one shell in at a time.
- for the last few you will have to use some muscle as the spring is more compressed, no surprise there

I will post an update tomorrow after we shoot it.

So it did not work too well on the first outing. It would chamber the first round fine but usually the next one would not come up all the way . You had to wriggle on the mag and it would come up but the bolt would only partially bring it into the chamber. You had to then push the bolt forward the rest of the way. Wash rinse repeat. The last 5 fired just fine. I then used a 10 round stick mag (5 rounds loaded) and slammed through 5 rounds in quick succession.

I will see if my buddy who has a different model of AR style shotgun is willing to test it in his. Trying to figure out if it's my gun or the mag.

I will give Classic credit they sent me an RMA for a refund and a prepaid shipping label no problemo. Granted they could still slap me with a restock fee but so far so good.
