When the hell did Beta-C drums become so expensive?

Did I miss something?

Are they still in business?

It depends which model you want. Ones for AR-15s can still be found for $250 and under, the others like FAL, and M1A are like Lightning 351 stated, $400 and up. MP5 and Uzi around $300 or so.

They're that much cause you'll continue to buy them to be cool.

Back in the early 90's I saw one advertized on the back cover of a magazine called Military Technology.
I thought it was interesting -- a 100rd double drum.

I called the company to see if I could purchase one and was told NO because they were under mlitary contract.
I then asked what the would the price be........ $65.

Back then $65 was crazy for 100rd mag....

DurIng the height of the assault weapon ban I bought one for $420 delivered as did so many others.
Then about a year ago I bought a Korean made copy for $150. Those Korean copies are exact copies inside and out. I was impressed.
