Shooting tm22 drum mag

so i have been on the fence on getting the drum mag adapter from tommy's but really want to see a video of it actually working. I have looked everywhere but nothing always see some comments saying that they got it to work and had no problems but wouldn't reply back with a video so was wondering if anyone has gotten it to work and can link a video of it working?

I bought a Tommy mag adapter. It sits in my bin of useless bits. I was never able to get it to work. I now use the drum I bought for it on my Ruger 10/22. Someone on Gunpost made a Remington 597 adapter that fits and actually works.

He has a video of it working. You can buy drum adapter and 597 adapter or just the drum adapter. I have two. I bought the whole kit and he sent me an extra drum adapter. I used the drum I bought for the Tommy kit for the second one. I have better feeds with the SBI metal adapter than I do with his 3d one. Most times I empty the drum with zero issues.

Shelpens Polymer Works adapter does actually work. It’s still fussy, but I was able to shoot 2 drums with minimal jams. It’s a bit expensive for a 3D-printed part.

Loading the drum is a bit of a pain, the design still feels a bit “beta” in regards to the dummy round/follower setup, but at least it functionally works.

No it is for a 10/22. There are no working TM22 drum adapters.

Tommy’s drum mag adapter does not work.

I pinged several people about it here and on CGN and they all said it’s defective.

Was looking to see if there was a video or pictures showing how its supposed to work, I put the dummy rounds in the drum, put the adapter with the mag onto drum, screw in, slowly release the dummys and they get stuck as soon as theyre in the mag, super disappointing

At one point I had heard that Derya was working on their own drum mags - so that may be an option soon too. I think it was mentioned in passing by their guys at SHOT show.
