The barrel on the rifle does get pretty hot. I never would have thought of nylon melting, thanks for the tip! I've thought about picking up the $75 round drum, you can buy 'em for about $99. I'd be afraid of melting the barrel, though.

Not with just one magazine's worth. At the Spring 2000 Knob Creek shoot, there was a fella who went through 8 or 10 75-round drums in a row just to see what would happen. The handguards charred, eventually caught fire and the upper guard fell off, but that was about it. One drum won't hurt anything.

It would take a lot of self control to keep from blasting through the 75 rounds in 10 seconds a bunch of times hahaah. But I'm thinking that if you ever really needed that sort of firepower without changing mags, you'd be glad you had it.

Yep. Though better spread between two shooters, to intersperse the magazine changes.

So if you don't think the 3point sling is going to work, what do you think I should do? Move the stock swivel to the top and get a longer sling??

Move the swivel and try a standard length AK sling. Slung muzzle down, behind the left shoulder [if you're right handed] it swings up under the left arm to the right shoulder very quickly, sometimes called the *border carry* or *African carry*. Or try it with the sling all the way loose, slung at waist level, strap over the neck or one shoulder.
