I lost my Cobray loader & I just
broke my Adco plastic loader. Will the UpLula loader work for Sten Mags? Or I would do a Lula, but I don't think they make those yet. Any input will be appreciated. John |

Towards the bottom:
http://www.rbgungraphics.com/macstuff.html Box loader: http://www.ima-usa.com/product_info.php/products_id/1795 TAPCO makes one now. Cheaper than Dirt has them for $11.97 even though TAPCO's MSRP is $9.99: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MAG002-1.html http://www.tapco.com/products/new/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=288 |

Spend the money on one of these. It will last a lifetime and makes loading mags stupid easy. |

THE best loader for Sten mags in existence. these are great, but I had the mag catch part break, therefore making it useless. I picked up one of the austen mag loaders, which is basically the same, but it locks the mag 1000x better and has a push buttonmag release. pricey but worth it.. scottMO |

Dog, Thanks fior the links. Can you explain how the box loaders work? I saw an UpLula today in a gun shop, and I was tempted to try it, but I didn't. How do the spoon loaders work? Thanks for the input! John They allow you to compress the uppermost round in the mag just enough to get a round on top of it, then push this round all the way back Repeat this & ya end up with a full mag |

Another version is on the UK Ebay right now - 230490573309
Seems that there are a few of this type available at present for not a lot of $$$'s May not be ideal compared to more modern types - but will save your thumbs and ARE quick to use once ya get used to them |

Saddler,
I tried to finish loading a mag by hand the other night after my Adco broke, and it's pretty much impossible toi load more than about 20 that way. I will have to do something asap. I think I'll try a spoon loader & the plastic one from CTD? looks reliable & good value. I also may take a shot a fabbing one up, like the HKS style where you use your thumb from the front. Thanks again. John |

Bigbore, Will it work as reliably as advertised on a Sten mag, once the proper material is removed? Will it still work on the pistol mags, after the mod? Thanks for posting this info. John You have to remove the spring loaded "centering" piece, so its not as "easy" as it is out of the box for say, use on a Beretta 92 mag. So yes, it will still work on all the other mags, but I just shelled out the $24 and bought a second. As for reliable - I'll take my modified uplula and 100rds of 9mm start loading mags, and you take any of the other above mentioned loaders and I'll be done way before you :) It still loads like an uplula once you get the swing of it. I think I have a few mags to load, I'll go make a video. |
