Rick - I only load 5 rounds in my Luger magazine. Beyond that the spring tension stacks up significantly ; I see no need to subject such an old piece of equipment to such loads.

The magazine in question is now in the good hands of GT for repair. He will also be supplying me with an improved MecGar , with wooden floor plate. The old mag will get a deserved rest.

Thanks , guys. 'Ski

Rick, a replica loading tool can be had for as little as $5
