AR conversion kit-magazine modification for easy loading-how to

[strickj]

Anybody with one of the conversion kits knows just how difficult it is to load those pesky little 22s into the mags.

Here's a how-to on solving this problem:

Drill hole in mag base plate.

(one wolf knife for extra WIN)

Drill hole in mag follower.

Tie cord to follower.

(I used a cord from a set of cheap binoculars)

tie a piece of thread to the other end to help in feeding it through the hole in the base plate.(You really don't need a pic of this,but I took one anyway,so deal with it!)

Reassemble,and you're good for easy loading of those little 22s

dang, now that is so simple, everybody is now gonna post saying " I shoulda thought of that!"

That is a great idea. Those .22 mags are a pain in the ass to load. That was the only thing I didnt like about my conversion.

Damn,,,,, and my thumb is still hurting from loading my mag.

that is great idea.

how reliable is to have 1 foot of line hanging when mag is full

[strickj]

The line doesn't interfere with operation because the mag spring has its own channel that is separated from where the cord goes.

The cord itself runs down the mag in an empty space that ironically works perfectly for this.

It's like they knew I wanted to put a cord in there!

As far as having it hang down,it's not a problem for me as I'm not doing any CONTACT rolls while using the conversion kit or anything that could cause the cord to be pulled on.

Sweet! No more telling people they can shoot it till they get tired of loading it.

Black Dog Machine makes a kick ass mag loader that works as fast as you can drop rds. in the mag.
