Jeff the Baptist said...: It's a neat gizmo but I would never own one. Loading an AR mag is a lot easier than pistol mags (which I own a HKS speedloader for). Why would I buy more expensive and probably more sensitive AR mags for functionality I don't really need?; 11:59 AM, August 06, 2007

I pay a premium for quality AR magazines, just to avoid problems.
This thing would have to be a in hard service a lot of years before I would vote with my $.

Just my two cents.; 12:02 PM, August 06, 2007

Now I have to find out where I can buy one.; 1:35 PM, August 06, 2007

Looks neat and handy, but since most of the few malfunctions in personal weapons I've experienced have come directly from mag issues, I think the jury is still out on this one until someone I know has logged some hours with one.; 3:46 PM, August 06, 2007

Jay G said...: Looks real slick, 'cept I'd have to buy an AR-platform rifle first.

And even then, I'd have to find one with a capacity of 10 rounds or less, which kinda defeats the whole purpose.

Or, I could have stayed in NH permanently...; 9:18 PM, August 06, 2007

May be a fun range toy, though.; 11:17 PM, August 06, 2007

They also offer an 'Easyloader':

I could see buying one of those for use w/ GI magazines.

Other versions available for 5.45x39 AK, 7.62x39 AK/SKS, 7.62x51 M1A/FAL/HK, 9x19 Uzi/MP5, and M1 Carbine.

Tam, thx for the blog.
