M16 clip loaders

[76231b]

Anyone have trouble using these at all? I am the only one I have seen that doesn't seem to have any trouble with them. Everyone else just results to loading up their mags one at a time... I can get like 5 30 rounders by the time you can load up one mag bullet by bullet.

Talking about these BTW

I have no need for those since I found this.

I really like the little 'clip loaders' (or whatever theyre called). Theyre small, light, and simple. They definitely are a tremendous improvement over loading one at a time, both in speed and comfort

It's called a 'stripper clip guide', oddly enough.

And the trick to using them properly is to make sure they aren't bent forward, and that when pressing the rounds down into the mag, your thumb or tool is at the rear of the rounds, up against the stripper clip. If you press on the topmost round forward near the bottleneck, the whole mess just binds up.

Most of us called them 'Spoons'.

dont like them never did never will they suck in both m14 and m16 first off you have to prestage you ammo on clips
so its not really saving time it is shifting time

i rebuilt one of my gi mags with the cammenga easymag and it impresses everybody

If you're using your thumb to push the rounds into the mag, you're doing it the HARD way. Here's a little trick I came across once upon a time:

This is an excellent method. It in essence, does exactly what rayra describes, which as he says is the secret.

Very nice... I've never seen anything like that. Outstanding !

The US stripper clip system is one of the finest in the world and allows fast and easy magazine loading if done properly. It is extremely durable and well made.

Spoons suck.

Military ammo come pre-staged on clips in a bandolier.
