Problem with those are 1) double the street price of the new Magpul drums, and 2) requires gunsmithing to work with SP5/K.Lookie Here...

I've been watching these F5 drums for some time. Seems the jury is still out on reliability and (at least) earlier variations had issues that I'm not willing to work through. If F5 has things sorted out I would look at them in the future.Lookie Here...

They messed up by making them to a mke and not starting with an HK first.....I've been watching these F5 drums for some time.

Would a mag loader help with the drum?The drums are bulky, heavy, and kind of a pain to load since you have to swing that loading lever over against spring pressure for every round.
Nah the government will still buy them.Hope they didn’t waste too much on R&D for these. They might be illegal to manufacture before they even hit stores.
I very much doubt a loader will work. There is a lot more spring pressure to overcome, plus you aren’t pushing straight down against a spring. You are pushing down and than around.Would a mag loader help with the drum?
If this is reliable it's going to be sold out soon. $65 for a 30 round HK mag versus $50 for 50 round drum.
