The only reason we chose those tags was because they were the most widely searched on youtube. They are not appealing...

The first batch of drums are shipping below is a picture of the G10m units coming off the cnc as we speak.
This is something I posted earlier I just wanted to share here.
Lets talk quality: The mags are made of pure quality, my father owns Malarkey roofing products they manufacturer commercial and residential products and have been in business for 50 + yrs since the day I could talk he always presented to me that quality will sell your product. Its a rule that runs through are family and has help build our success.
Here are the current drums coming off the cnc.
These are the solid billet machined units named G10m (for machined)

the drum is based off the Hechler and Koch G8 drum (HK known for quality and reliability). Here is a comparison:

All internal parts are built of solid billet aluminum:

Or they are made from injected plastic moldings that have metal inserts or they are filled with glass nylon. very strong.
We are giving all units a lifetime warranty, so that should speak for us how durable the product is.
The weight of the drum fully loaded with ammo is 4.6lbs

The G10 M (for machined) is built of solid billet aluminum and takes 2 hours on a cnc to produce the front and rear housing. The parts from the CNC are .002 of spec. A G10 m cost $395 comes in a black hardcote anodizing. The benefit of the G10 m, It's pratically indestructible, and it will always be the most up to date generation of the product.
The G10 C (for Casted) is built on a diecast tool, for which in comparison to the G10 m is 1/10 the cost to produce. It holds about .005 of spec, and should rival the G10 m in durability although it will be a homogenous product and will only be updated every couple of generations of G10 m. Cost $225.
There are distributor and dealer costs for the drums:
Minimum quantity to be a dealer is 10 units, distributor is 500 units. Must have an FFL to be a dealer.
Magazine pouchs are available, they are $30 a piece. dealer and distributor pricing are available.
If you think of these in relativity, think of a basic sideplate and how simple its structure is (they sell for $150+) Now think of a pair of spade grips, nothing too complex (retail $240-300) now think of the complexity of the snail shell design used in this drum and all of the small components that go inside to make it work! Makes you think, what kind of margins are people really making on a part.

Just another note this was no easy product to bring to life, tripods took one month to bring to life $40,000 investment, spade grips two months $5000 investment, ppsh41 about a 1.5 yrs $45,000 investment, the 50 round drum 2.5 yrs $250,000 investment! The product you see before you was not intended to make us rich off selling just a handful, this is something we want to sell millions of. These first ones are truly unique no one has one, if you buy one your going to be the early adopter, and we are backing them with a lifetime warranty up to the first thousand. We are taking a great amount of pride in this product.

YES, we might actually expedite the M14 platform as all of my old timer/ industry partners say that there are more M14 .308 rifles in the U.S. than any other .308 semiauto rifle, and on top of that its still being used by our armed forces.
Excellent, I was just about to ask that myself. Seeing the close-up pictures it looks like it uses a plastic feed tower, similar to the Beta design, but more reinforced. It looks to me like with a different tower on there, you could use it in your M14/AR10/FAL/HK/Famas/Saiga/7600/Windrunner/Etc. Though I'm sure it wouldn't be economically feasible to design a feed tower for every .308 rifle out there. I am liking the idea of having one on a pump, though.
