Selling it INTO the USA? Shouldn't be a problem considering the "AWB" sunsetted so they have no mag limits now.

Some states have individual laws that make the AWB look kind. Besides, given the rarity and exemption from mag limits, you could probably get what you're pricing at in Canada.

True enough... in fact you may get more in Canada b/c it's a legal standard capacity (I absolutely LOATH the term "hi-cap") magazine.

Some very well made repro snail drums (TM 08) have appeared on the market lately here in Germany. Reportedly made in Bulgaria. But prices do not seem to have decreased a lot. With a folding lever approx 1.000€. Telescopic lever, quite a bit more. But they´re not much use without the loading tool.

I had one in Ohio. Found out the 32 round is two over the Ohio max. A centerfire weapon with a magazine over 30 rounds is a machine gun. sold it to Canada many years ago. Maybe the same one. Gary

A new book on the TM-08 is at the publishers (Mowbray) and in the final stages to printing. Lots of new info on makers, serial ranges, markings, types, changes, etc. Also a ton of great photos. Should be on sale in a month. You will like it

The "Snail Drum" photographs nice, but the rig is much more fun to shoot with the standard magazine. I will admit that I don't shoot this one though. It is one of a handful of 1914 dated DWM LP.08 known.

What kind of camera setup do you use?

Just a quick quiz, but does anyone know why the hinge pin for the back sight is drilled eccentric?
