Yeah I, know it's not a A1 like on the cover of the first edition.
It's more just like the Air Force 604 version. I had to get the lower from No Dak Spud to make it more correct. They had all the different styles like the slab sides, E1( which is this one), A1's, and A2's. I like some of the old school style stuff so that is why I have this. I get sick of the same old rail AR guns that are all over the place. I mean options are cool, but do I really need all that junk on my gun? Plus you can't believe how much lighter a plain AR-15 is. This one is lighter then my carbines.
But hey the drum is the focus here. I was just using the rifle for display with the drum. I really don't know shit about the drum, and I have not tried it out yet. Its a pump and dump style loader like some AK-47 drums and I believe it holds 75 rounds. More then likely it will suck, but I had to have it from always being curious about it from the Twilight 2000 cover.
