During my 22 years of instruction at Lassen College in Susanville, California, I have taught various armorer courses to hundreds of law enforcement personnel. Officers from as far away as Australia and Scotland have traveled to Susanville to attend classes.

The courses I teach vary greatly and include instruction on basic gunsmithing, single and double action auto pistols, all types counter-sniper rifles, all types double action revolvers, full autos, and assembly of gas operated guns.

I have taught California Department of Corrections staff, Arizona Department of Corrections staff, as well as armorers employed by the Federal Correctional System.

We built and now maintain the Armorers Training website. And we are proud to have Armorers Training  as a Sponsor of our website Network

In this picture you can see the difference in the angle of the feed towers. The Russian drum is on the left and the Chinese on the right. When inserted into a rifle the Russian drum angles foreword and the Chinese pretty much hangs down straight. AK47

The 2 types of drums imported for use in AK47 rifles that are chambered for the 7.62x39mm cartridge are the Chinese type and the Russian type. The Chinese type drums are easy to spot as the feed tower that is inserted into the magazine well of the rifle is about 90 degrees perpendicular to the body of the drum.

The 7.62x39mm cartridge was invented by the Russians and adopted as the M-43 cartridge in 1943. The cartridge was developed in response to getting there ass's kicked by the Germans with their new Mkb-42 assault rifle that fired the 7.92x33mm cartridge from it's 30rd mag. Latter in 1944 the German developed the Stg-44 which used stamped sheet metal receiver and 30rd mag. The Stg stands for Sturmgewher which translates to Assault Rifle. The first rifle the Russians designed to fire the new cartridge was the SKS-45 adopted in 1945. The 10 shot fixed mag of the SKS just didn't cut it and the AK-47 that used a 30rd mag was adopted in 1947.
