View Thread: bulgie drum loading confusion


craigntx
in this link,
http://www.gunsnet.net/Linx310/chinesedrum.htm#top
pics 6 and 7 clearly show the follower riding low in the semi circle, and rounds being loaded right above it.
on my new bulgie drum, the follower won't go down that far, it wants to ride furthre out, towards the housing. so i can only put 1 round right next to it. placing a round below it, the round is unsupported by another, and i can't put 2 rounds in that slot.
so i have a 73 rounder, which is ok, as long as it feeds.
i know this is difficult w/o a pic, i'll try to get some.
thanks

craigntx you have it loaded wrong. You have to reverse wind it first.

think we got it.
the follower wants to start to the right side of the tower, not the left as shown in the link.
that allows the follower to ride lower, towards the center. allowing 4 rounds to sit above it
