Auto loader for 15-22 mags

As soon as it is done I will be buying one and the Long Barrel Shroud. Will it work with 10rd shorty's?
 
I live in CALI, which means I spend most of my time at the range removing and replacing empty magazines... I have to reload 2.5 times more than you guys if you think about it. Sadly, the speedloader on my XD45ACP Tactical is slower than just thumbing them in the mag. I hate 10rd regs but I cannot change them so until then I will have an assembly line of shorty mags. It's ridiculous to me that the dammed compliant versions come with a banana clip with 10 rounds in it. I don't get it at all. If you had to reload 2.5 times more than you do now, you would want the fastest way to fill up those mags. If you enjoy wasting time loading mags that is cool, but I don't get out to the range enough, so when I do, I usually drop a bunch of rounds :)
 
All good, I just seriously hate reloading. It's easier with bigger bullets. With 22LR it is more of a coordination test than groupings... What really fries me is that the banana style mags dont have the pins that make it easier to load and hold down the spring but the shorty ones all come with them. ***? Can I buy the plug? Was looking for nylon bolts/washers but nobody carries them anymore.
 
I came up with a simple design for one of these on my way home from work and thought more about it while in line at the DMV. My idea would provide a very fast magazine load and prevent fumbling with individual rounds. I came home and started prototyping and it looked promising. Then it hit me that I should look on this forum to see if it is already being developed and I found this thread :rolleyes:

So, I guess I will go ahead and make one for myself and forget about the "mass" production as I don't want to compete with Tacticool22 who has brought such great things to this forum. :D

So tacticool, if you are looking for any ideas during your final design iterations, I will be up for some brainstorming!
 
quite a long "development" period....its coming up on a year....
 
Bump for any updates on a speedloader. Will there actually be one? Can we see a prototype picture or video?

The development has been longer than a year. No pics or videos because I can't give away any information.
I am sure the current loaders for the 10/22 took much less time, but look at how they load.
If someone here has 100K or so that they would like to invest, I am all up for it. Otherwise, please be patient.
 
K, thanks for the update. I guess it won't be anytime soon. Good luck and let us know if you need any beta tester for your new product. : )
 
What? You mean you can't just whip them things out in a day? I can't believe that it actually takes time and money to develop something from scratch. Jeezs. :)
 
Well

I for one am a NEWBIE to this Toy

So i havent waited for 1yr

But I will for sure be patient and wait Longer..... after loading my 12 Mags today..........

Your Work tacticool22 will be APPRECIATED by many many Guys like me

I just use the loader from Black Dog for their AR 22 conversions and there is at least one other brand also because I modified one of those to load the 30 round mags for my Remington 597. Works just as well as they do on the Black Dog mags. Because it is just a follower compressor like some pistol loaders it keeps the rounds under tension so they don't get misaligned like they do using the loading pin sometimes.

If you need funding to finish prototyping, or ramp up production, check out kickstarter.com

It would allow everyone here to "pledge" to buy one and if you raise enough money it goes forward. I've supported quite a few projects on kickstarter, it's a cool site (and business model).
 
It takes me 45 seconds to load a 25-round magazine and less than 20 to load a 10-rounder. That means I load my 10 big and 5 small magazines - 300 rounds - in a little over 10 minutes.
