Mislabeled as MG3 but they fit MG2 tray. Just don't go buying them all up to resell though. :mrgreen:

Those German MG1 .308 drums were extreamly rare for many years. Of the few I had seen over the years most were bought by Germans for stupid money (way too much). Buy them while you can as when they are gone I imagine they will be gone for good. Century does not know exactly what they have there.

they are different then the swiss drums, I have a couple of the swiss ones and you can modify a .308 feed tray to use them.
