    I have never used a C but if I am not mistaken I saw one up for auction last night on gunbroker. Can't remember the price. Type it in and see if it's still there. I am curious as to how you load these things and how they feed. Odd looking little things huh?

    Beta's are the best way to go if you can affprd them, I've seen re-conditioned units selling in ShotGun News for $389, new ones which I haven't seen in a while were around $500-$650.They come with a load tool that you drop a 10 round stripper clip into, then push down the ram and presto! 10 rounds are loaded, pull out the empty stripper clip drop in another and repeat ... you can also load 1 round at a time if you don't have the load tool.Anyway there is no winding or anything, they work just like a regular mag ... but heavyier ... and bigger ... but at least its better balanced than the plastic one that is all on one side and not as cumbersome as having one big drum underneath!If you've ever tried one, you'll never want any other type of drum

    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    Beta C mags load through attached feeding towers that are removed to insert in the gun.Right now there are a couple for sale at AR15.com.New prebans are selling for $400-425.cpermd
