Hi,

Picked up a new mecgar magazine at a local militaria show a few weeks ago. It functions beautifully but I found my loading tool doesn't fit.

The placement of the metal lip on the magazine is slightly different from that on the original magazines, so that the loading tool (which has a machined out slot for sliding over the metal lip) doesn't fit well and jumps off when I try to load the magazine.

Since I value my thumb I'm trying to find a loading tool that works on the mecgar magazines.

Anyone had this problem? Any differently shaped loading tools available?
