    Heard about them but that may have been an urban legend.
    I also heard some 7.62x39 drums were converted but didn't work.
    There would be a market for them if they did exist.
    I think Norinco just made 30& 40 rounders for the .223.

    Thanks, I have seen a beta mag converted to fit but that was in the internet, and not being a tool and die guy, I hate to try.

    Yes, there is a drum for 223 ak's
    From what I know they were only made in 100 rd. capacity.
    They are quite pricey 200.00+
    I talked to a guy that has one but would not give me a price.
    Will call him and see if he still has it.

    I bought one about 10 years ago and they hold 120 rounds. They work ok in a semiauto. They are too slow to work in a full auto.

    I am sorry. I miss read. I thought you were talking about the Chinese drum for the AR 15.
