They definitely made them heavy duty back in the day.. always fun.....NOT..... to shove just over 8 pounds of loaded drum magazine into an 11 pound rifle, it quickly becomes a 19 pound chunk. The drum looks awesome, but it's not really practical having 2 boxes of 45acp hanging there, I just stick to the simple stick magazines anymore.

Wow, now that is sweet. Would love to add one of those to the herd also. Darn it, now my list is growing bigger.
Couldn't imagine hauling 20 lbs of rifle around. Heck just in the standard configuration, plus all the gear, then lugging it across Europe on foot was/is a major workout. People were smaller frame/weight and the guns were heavier back then that is for sure.
