First,
detach the two clips holding the cover on. |
|
|
Pull
the cover down until the drum is open. |
Push
the button in the middle of the drum to release
the spring tension. |
|
|
Locate
the follower and hold the button down while rotating
the spider clockwise until the follower is in its
starting position |
Begin
placing cartridges in the spider starting with the
slots next to the follower and continuing around
in a spiraling pattern towards the lips of the drum. |
|
Put the cartridges everywhere where they will
fit until the drum is full.
Once you are done shut the cover on the drum
and you are done!

Before
using the drum in your AK, you will want to wind
it. Locate the knob on the back of the drum and
turn it clockwise between 3-4 turns until it is
tight. If it's not tight enough, the spring will
not push the cartridges up fast enough to cycle
properly. If it's too tight, it will be too difficult
for your bolt to strip the rounds out of the drum.
On Shawn's drum it's 3.5 turns. You will want to
find the right amount of spring pressure for your
combination of rifle and drum. |

And that's
it! You have succesfully loaded a Chinese Type Drum. |
