New AR15 Speed Loader 20 rounds in 10 seconds

[3pointi.com]

Hey Firearms Forum,

Being new to this forum, I have gotten permission to make a post about a new speed loader for AR15/M16 magazines.

A formal review will be posted once we get samples of our loader to Shooter45 in an October-November timeframe. There will also be a giveaway around then.

That being said, below is a video demonstration of our speed loader.

The Box-to-Mag Loader is the only speedloader that can take ammo straight from packaging and load it into a magazine. Loading 20 rounds can be done in as fast as 10 seconds to 15 seconds. Box-to-Mag works with:


••USGI Aluminum 20/30s
••Pmags
••HK SA80 Steel magazines
••Lancer L5 magazines
••Cammenga Easymags
••CAA Polymer magazines

Box-to-Mag can load directly from:


•American Eagle - 10rnd single row plastic trays
•Corbon - 20rnd cardboard trays
•Federal XM193 - 20rnd boxes
•Federal Classics - 10rnd single row plastic trays
•Hornady - 20rnd black plastic trays
•PMC - 20rnd boxes
•Remington - 20rnd black plastic trays
•Winchester - 20rnd Styrofoam trays
•Wolf - 20rnd boxes

The loader is set to MSRP at $24.95, but a $7 discount is available for preordering at our site

The production color (not shown in video) will be a translucent black.

Does it work with the plastic ammo boxes? Like this one http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct...ber=1564389139

Unfortunately, it only works with trays and boxes that stack ammunition into 2 rows. These kinds of boxes usually hold 50 rounds in two separate rows, so it wouldn't work very well if you have more than 2 rows of ammo loaded into it.

Ron, welcome to TFF. Your product will definately speed things along at the range session. I'll be shooting instead of reloading and no more sore fingers.

[Marlin T]

Great youtube vid, I bet your product will sell like hotcakes.
Good luck!!!

No problem. It just means that I need to save some of those little plastic trays. I may even have to go to a proper range to get some more. (Though .223 is still a new round for me, so I'm still buying factory ammo for now.)

Definitely excited for this thing to hit the market.

I do a lot of shooting with my AR15 and AR10....seems like that would be a great product. Have you thought to do something similar for the .308 round AR10?

Fastest speed loader I have seen. Should do well if that slotted plastic piece you push the rounds in with is durable.

My thought exactly. Looks kinda sloppy to me. I'd hate ta have that thing break in the middle of the downstroke. When plastic breaks, it likes to create razor sharp edges. I can well envision a 6" long cut right to the bone.

Now that is SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET..................

We are currently trying to get feedback on what caliber people would like to see the next version of our loader made for. 7.62x39AK and 6.8SPC are popular, and so is .223 mini14. I haven't heard .308 AR10 yet, but it could be a possibility. Everything depends on if our current version gets accepted by the shooting community.

has anyone tryed these on the styer mags? ( 5.56 NATO ) i've some interest this side if they work

The loader will be made from a Polycarbonate, which is a fairly durable and very impactproof material. Just for comparison, PC is used in Oakleys and Revision glasses, which are capable of deflecting birdshot fired from a 12 gauge at fairly close range. Whatever would happen to the rest of your face in such a scenario, I can't say, but your eyes will be protected, which is a testament to PC's strength.

The prototype product shown in the video uses an inferior stereolithography 3D Print plastic. I've pushed down on it nearly 200 times and it still hasn't broken on me.

I haven't actually tested it with one, but I can tell you from looking at a picture of the mag that it probably won't. The AUG mag doesn't have the verticle groove that AR mags have running near the slide catch activator.

[jack404]

thats what i have found trying with AR mag's , but thanks for letting me know

have a chat with smith's ( AG smith and sons) in london , they supply to Qstores ( equal to your PX system) in the UK as the SA80 mag's are compatable with AR mags and the brits will love a speed loader

[Woodnut]

This loader looks to have great potential.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know if the British military uses stripper clips? I assume most NATO alliance countries would.

[jack404]

brits use clips yes they are a part of the standard ( i forget the name of it but for magazines) that Nato and the US use , sadly when we went to do the same after redesigning the Steyr to suit us the government stopped the mag project so here we are again half way to nowhere as usual .. but thats our government

why do things correctly when you can screw so many doing a half job ...

You mean STANAG right? I think what's true for your government is true for most other governments. We had the same issue with the OICW XM29 project, where we gave up on the rifle partway after spending millions. At least we kept the grenade launcher portion though.

Btw, I'm not too sure how I can sell in Qstores since the military uses stripper clips.

[jack404]

STANAG yeah thats it ! we did a great job on the steyr the austeyr project was adopted by the Germans , THEY went Stanag while we stayed with the pile of old pattern mags we bought .. Doh! hey the Kiwi's went STANAG i remember 2007 i think .. i've no real contacts there ( still in ) sorry ..

yeah the clip issue is a bugger , i know some pull em and stack em loose to make room and to avoid clip issues ( the bloody things get bent easy and jam ) but i dunno how many , the Brit's are a "by the book" lot eh

The mag spoons aren't too bad if you have a table or some kind of 90 degree surface to rest the rounds on while you press/lean into the magazine base. They say spoons aren't too good for your feed lips though.

Btw, do you guys ever rotate magazines?

This is a horrible idea! I dont want to load my 308 any faster than I do because that means that I will shoot faster!!

Thank you, that's the best negative feedback i've received yet.
