Magazien loading tool

Chickenthief · 08-12-2017, 10:01 PM

So when i bought my 1921 Parabellum i thought i needed a loading tool, amongst other nicknacks.

With the amount of fakes i knew from the git-go that i was gonna get ripped a new one:-(
So from pure desperation i made my own.
Not pretty but it works.

A bit of 1/8" Macrolon/polycarbonate.
All measurements are fuzzy and not to specific guides.
In short: I winged it pretty good :-)

I am curious: Do you hold it against your chest [or leg?] with one hand, pushing down the tool; and load the cartridges with the other hand???

Or is there another tool that slips on the lips of the magazine body and dispenses the cartridges??? Maybe one at a time or all at once, like a stripper clip???

Never needed the reloading tool. Have one and don't use it.

But your approach is ingenious.

I have a repo mag tool that honestly is terrible to use. This looks like it would actually work quite well. Excellent idea!

I am impressed! That is "thinking outside the box".

I like it!! A new approach to an old problem. Thanx for showing us your solution.

It is grooved to catch the button and can be loaded with one hand~Can't break never wears out! Steel not plastic!

I'm not sure what is "wrong" with a repro tool, they can be had for less than $10???

Individual Preference!

Most repro tools just have a simple cylindrical round hole, so they are useless for reloading unless one gives himself the trouble of fixing it.

This one has a built in ridge like a takedown key! No slipping! I like doing all my luger needs in house~ I can keep it on my key chain as I lose everything!~
