Snail Mag TM 08
LITLBILLCR@aol.com sent me a query which I answered but the mail was returned.You should be able to get between nine and eleven rounds into the snail mag without the loading tool. Maybe you didn�´t first wind the handle and fix it in position with the spring loaded button. Tools are hard to come by and the TM 08 cannot be loaded without one. Only one tool was issued with five snail mags so they are harder to find than the mag itself. The tool costs about 1500 Marks here (whatever that may be in $s).It certainly is an experience to fast fire the 32 rounds - and it warms up the barrel.Patrick

Snail Mag TM 08 Loading tool question...
 that actually shows how this device loads the drum?<br />
<br />
<br />
That is the checkered button for? What keeps it attached to the drum as you exert pressure on the top cartridge?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<div><strong>Okay, so I just figured out part of it, who has the rest of the story?</strong><br /> </div>
<div>The checkered button is the magazine catch, and the horizontal piece to the right of the button is the mag button spring, but I still want to know how working the lever loads a cartridge if anyone can explain it or post an illustration or photos.<br />

<div><strong>Re: TM loaders</strong><br /> </div>
<div>John, As with most mag loaders, when you push down the lever, this pushes down the rounds already in the tube and allows you to slide in another round part way into the lips. When you release the lever, you can then push the new round the rest of the way back, and then repeat the process. This is certainly no Ramline, throw the rounds in a box and just push a button, but this is how all of the SMG loaders I)

Re: TM loaders
I have a number of original Lugers I shoot all the time-I have a drum mag-paid a grand for it-I can remember when they were $19.95.
As nice an item as it is I would NEVER load it-break that huge sealed 84 year old spring and you are duly and truly screwed. Just from fooling around with it and knowing about GI's in general I think there must have been a lot of interesting injuries associated with these things.- My $.02 MikeP |
Re: LITLBILLCR
I too received an email and it bounced back when I tried to respond to it. Litlbill, if you read this, I do have blueprints for the snail drum, but I do not see how they would help your problem... Feel free to contact me for copies, I can email them, they files are large, the quality is not that great, but all the parts are dimensioned. FGR
