Price will be in the $1,600 range. Making a limited batch of 250 to start. Will be out sometime in the 3rd quarter.






Fostech 50cal drum mag (1:44)

What would be the point? You can't shoot it prone or from a table now. That rifle was really only shot prone as it was... For vehicle mounted stuff? Ok, most folks have an M2 that need to do that.

Pretty cool looking. Like the poster above, the ability to shoot it from a rest would be critical though.

What's the point?  When you need to clear houses w/ your Barrett!    

Tape and two 10-round mags seems a much better plan.

Yea it would work great standing while shooting from a tall tripod.

its neat and all but way over priced.... if it was like 600 sure but 1600 is crazy

my thoughts exactly. They charge $800 for their DRUM for their Origin12. A 10rd 107A1 mag runs $150. The 10x premium for 10 more rounds doesn't seem worth it.

It does have the tacticool factor going for it.  However, impractical and too expensive.  If I was a Barrett owner, I would quickly pass.

Well, that's kinda the whole reason I bought the CQ model......DUH

Back around 2003 or so when we made a few test guns for the Coast Guard for what became the 82A1CQ, the Coast Guard asked about making a few 50rd and 100rd drum mags.
Ronnie said "Not going to entertain the idea"
A drum that large would need to be electrically driven.

A few of us took 2 10rd mags. Cut the top 3/4" -7/8" off of the top of one mag. Cut off the bottom floor plate tabs on another mag and TIG welded the 2 mags together to make what we called "Super Mag"
We stretched the hell out of the mag spring to help lift the rounds.
1st one worked great. So we made another one. That worked also.

We used those 2 mags every now and again at the range for shits and giggles. Ronnie saw one of them laying out on a work table in assembly and asked us to keep them out of sight or someone may see it and start asking to have them made.

Wish I had taken a pic of it back then.
