Pre-Ban Norinco 75 round drum mag - worth?

[pith43]

I've been cleaning out my safes and came across a Norinco 75 round drum mag, made of metal. I bought it new in 1992 to go on a SKS that had been fit with a thumbhole stock and a receiver that would take AK mags. The 30 round AK mags worked fine in the SKS, but the receiver was too deep to hold the drum. The drum has been sitting in my safe ever since, I totally spaced it out. I was wondering what it was worth.

I've considered taking a dremel to the receiver to get it too fit, but I don't really want to hack it up. I've got plenty of 30 rounders anyway. (if I can't hit a coyote with 30 rounds, 75 won't do me any better)

It's worth $100 to me, I'd love one for my AK's.

The Chicom 75 round drums seem to be running in the $180ish range these days. I've seen them between $150 and $200, depending on condition and whether they have the drum pouch.

Probably a good chunk more than you paid for it back then, if nothing else!
