Dunkelgrau
. The drums were painted gray until some time in 1943 when the Germans transitioned over to the dark yellow color. Both colors were used until the end of the War.
These drums were made by Yugoslavia for their copy of the MG42 (M53) and are identical to the WWII models (their parts interchange) save for the lack of German codes or dates.
We select the best condition drums which we check and disassemble, then remove the lovely cosmoline grease and strip off the slime green paint.
After their cleaned up, we repaint them the proper shade of
Dunkelgrau
. After they dry we put them in the paint oven for an hour to cure the finish.
Note!
Some evidence of past use is likely such a minor dings, scrapes or whatnot. We do check to be sure each one latches on and off of an MG.
Paint:
We use industrial acrylic enamels and urethanes that are custom mixed to match WWII samples. These are primed and then hardened in a paint oven for maximum durability. Note that a few nicks in the paint are possible from where we have test fitted these on an MG.
How are they to use?
They work fine, and it can be nice not to have to check the belt for grass and twigs that can cause a malfunction. That said, if one wants to carry 300rds., one ammo can beats 6 drums, so there are trade offs.
