Title: Krag speedloader project about done. Post by Baltimoreed on Aug 8th, 2018 at 12:48am
Here’s my home made speed-loader. Not too pretty I’m afraid. The next one I make will be prettier. I added the steel tab on the bullet end today. Keeps me from putting it too deep into the gate opening which keeps the rounds from falling free. I also added a tapered insert to make the five .30-40s lean toward the open end of the unit. Added the suede to give it some grip. I tried it out this afternoon and it actually worked. Insert unit into the open loading gate and depress the lever, 5 rds fall into the action, remove loader and close the gate. Gravity works all the time. A whole lot faster than one or two at a time. Might be a hair faster than a stripper clip as they have to be inserted into a clip guide.
