I did a search on this and didn't see it on THR. I wanted to make sure the other AK-philes here were kept in the loop.
Cope's Distributing is importing Bulgarian 75 round AK drums (7.62 x 39). They are currently taking pre-orders. Allegedly these things are going to flood in. Some say they are simply copies of the Chinese drum, others are saying China is selling off their drums to Bulgaria who is simply stamping them with a "circle 10" and then selling them to US wholesalers.
Price is $160, which isn't great, but better than $200 plus for a 15 year old Norinco drum.
In theory, if enough come into the US, the price will have to drop market-wide. So I'm not sure if this is a "jump on it quick" or wait and see if the price goes down. Either way its awesome you don't have to rely on gunbroker and bidding wars to get a Chinese style drum.
