That's pretty cool.

Very interesting find! I'm just not sure how time efficient it really is. Did they really use loaders like this to load up all the pre-loaded en blocs they sent out?

A solution in search of a problem.

Ha ha, this was a tool for factory workers to get clips loaded for packaging....not for the folks loading up their own rifles at the range. Would be interesting to see how it was really done at the ammo plants

There was an article Summer 2010 issue of The GCA Journal about a guy building his own version. The original clip loader was designed by John C Garand to load the 8 rd en blocs from the 5 rd stripper clips that the 1903 Springfield used. There were millions of rounds loaded in 5 round strippers and they needed to convert those to the en blocs for the Garand.

Yeah, I wonder if a machine was feeding it ammo or if someone had to stand there and manually load rounds.

It was done by people.

As quick as he loaded the bullets into the loader I could have had two enbloc clips finished. Cool setup though, if you were loading 1000's of rounds.

What a neat little contraption!

They were a two person operation, and about 500 were made.

If you had one person dumping 5 round 10903 clips into the feeder and one operating the mechanism - well, suffice to say this machinery is meant for an armory, not a grunt on the ground - but they would have an incredible amount of ammo loaded into 8 round clips at the end of an 8 hour shift.
