gftiv Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I am looking for AK47 and M16 mag loaders. As I get older, My thumbs hurt more with arthritis. I do not want stripper clip loaders because they stress my thumb. I want something like MP40 or HK94 mag loader where the pressure is on the palm of your hand. Not interested in the m16 crank loader, too bulky to carry to range. What is available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para45 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I don’t have one of these yet in order to give you personal feedback, but have been looking at getting one based on some good reviews I’ve read: https://www.etsgroup.us/ETS-Group-C-A-M-Loader-p/etscam-rifle.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeRanger Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Second the nomination for Maglula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) I use the Striplula for 10rd striper clips but you can manually add 10 in by itself. Other one I use more is the promag 5rd loader. Drop 5rds in a slot and use your palm to shove it in. https://www.classicfirearms.com/accessories/mags-drums/speed-loaders/223_5.56/ For ak I use the maglula, 1rd at a time.

Gila Ben Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) As others said, the Maglula is an excellent loader, as well as an excellent unloader. Held upside-down, it will pop rounds out as fast as you can work the lever. I haven't used one for the AK, but have extensively for ARs.

gftiv Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 I am going to to buy a ETS CAM loader and a lula and test them. Will report back when tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para45 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 I’ll second the Mag-Lula as well - I do have those & they’re great, but I automatically associated to a “stripper clip loader”, although they’re easy enuf on your hands.

Ryo Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 If you need to unload then the maglula wins out. It unloads one round at a time with a flick of a switch.. But I like unloading them through the ejection port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBD Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 forget all the bs get a magula only way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INTLMILCO Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) https://podavach.store/products/ar15-ak-u-loader Povadach is the way to go for AK/M16 - Magula works fine but if your needing to load fast for dumping magazines, the povadach is what i bring to the range.

gftiv Posted February 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Bought the Lula and the ETS loader. Lula 223 M15 worked as advertise. Good to go!! ETS loader, Not so good. It has two widths on the slot. I tried to load 308. 308 barely fits in the slot and requires a large amount of force to move the ammo thru the slot. total waste of time. 7.62 x 39 will move thru the slot. 223 and 9mm will move thru the slot but I have not tried to load a magazine with those calibers. Do not buy to load ETS loader to load 308 mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
