Are you looking for a magazine that can increase your plinking firepower?
I got a chance to test out the Black Dog Machine LLC .22 LR 50 Round Drum Magazine and here is how it performed.
Before I get started on the review, let’s take a quick look at what Black Dog Machine LLC says about their incredible drum magazine:
Drum Features: 3 in 1 drum. Built with an interchangeable feed tower. You can buy 1 of the 3 Black Dog Machine 50 Round drums listed below and have it work in 2 other models. All you have to do is purchase the drum tower only of the other 2 models you wish to convert your drum to.
Features: Built with an interchangeable feed tower. You can easily disassemble the drum, slide your AR-22 tower out and replace it with the new Black Dog 10-22 or S&W.22 feed towers.
Material: Polycarbonate & Glass Filled NylonWe do not guarantee that the drum will work in full-auto setups. However, many customers report that with a little fine tuning they can get the drum to work in full-auto.
A very interesting feature of the Black Dog Machine LLC .22 LR 50 Round Drum Magazine is the feed tower. They are user interchangeable for either 10-22 or S&W .22 style. Brilliant!
Before using be sure to read the Black Dog .22 50 Round Drum instruction manual here. Be sure to load the drum mag exactly how the instructions state for proper functioning and indexing of all 50 cartridges.

Ammunition used while testing the Black Dog Machine LLC .22 LR 50 Round Drum Magazine was the Federal Automatch 40 grain lead round nose bulk packed .22 LR cartridges. I have found them to be great plinking rounds and easier on the wallet.
