well here is the latest update":
it went back for retooling and they think they found a nice draft compromise and should be good, i hope to have the latest round of test runs this week for testing for fit,, and if all goes well they will go out as planned,, so lets hope they are not to tight this time!
but i think they should be fine.
i want to hand build each one and test them before sending them out to make sure they work as advertised.
but i thing were on the final bend of this venture.
man what a process, and im doing this as a fun little side project? but i have always done things just to see if it could be done, Albert Eisenstein said" i know thousand reasons why this don't work im just looking for the one that dose.

update :
received the latest run of parts,, the mag caps fit perfect and the bullet tray has one very small issue that is easily correctable,
I will be assembling the beta units and sending them out this week , i will try to do a short video to send with each one to show you testers how to calibrate the mag cap if necessary.
finally the home stretch !
so hopefully there will be alot of fed-ex trucks stinkin up the roadways this week!

update:
just finished assembling ,and calibrating each one and all packaged up ready to ship, just need to print everyone's address label and boot these baby's off. i will be sending them all out by friday.
the instruction's are not completed yet so im working on a short video to show how to use it and calibrate the feed tube tip if necessary . it seems each brand of cartridge has its own caracteristics
i will post the link here on the forum so you have some kind of reference to help you with. and i will be here to answer any questions also
i hand tested each one but , its like selling a pre set scope
its still might need adjustments especially after shipping.
so if it doesn't work right out of the box don't stress it just needs a little adjustment to the tip to align the feed into the magazine.

Skunk, just got my loader via FedEx! Here's a pic, thanks for the shirt! Props to you and the nod to Majorlk.
I'll be posting a review soon!
EDIT: Here's my review.
The loader is made of sturdy black plastic. The preloading block is lightweight enough to warrant carrying in a range bag, yet hefty enough to throw at an assailant as a last ditch effort, should you need to. It also has rubber grips on the bottom to prevent slipping on the table. The loading tube is lightweight aluminum and is adjustable in the magazine mount. Be careful tossing this in your bag, as it could bend if you're not careful. The magazine mount fits like a glove and serves its purpose well.
I DO recommend watching the YouTube video in the first post of this thread to assist in loading. I was able to reliably load several magazines consecutively after only two tries. (Beware, the last round may give you some trouble if you load too fast. The first try failed because I neglected to attach the magazine to the magazine mount prior to loading up the tube, and I had .22lr all over my floor. The second try, I had to play around with the orientation of the feed tube in relation to the magazine. I found that it worked best if the tube touches the magazine feed lips. (You'll see what I'm talking about when you get yours) It takes two loads to top off a 25rd magazine, but this is acceptable considering the length of the tube and the need to keep it somewhat compact. The only thing I would probably change in production is the feed tube. It could use some finishing, as there are sharp edges on both ends. Once I got it set up properly, it loaded like a champ! I love the branding and the fact that all parts are made in the USA. Good job Skunkwirkz!
