"Ultimate Cliploader" for M41 or 22A or better loader options?

[Tom S.]

What do I have to do to make the UCL Ultimate Cliploader UCL22 Mag Loader to accept the mags of a 2016 model 41? Mcwsky 09 said: "I had to modify by making the receiver shorter and wider to work with my SR22 magazines". I do not know if the SR22 mag is identical to the M41 mag. Is this modification easy? Is there somebody who can tell me more about the conversion? thank y all peter

According to one website I found, it can not be modified to work with the 41. That's like issuing a challenge to me, so I've ordered two from Amazon, one for the Brownings I have, and another one to play with to see if I can make it work with the 41.

I used the baby uplula for both my 22A and my M series 41 and m46's as well. It works great for both. Even my old hands can handle them with ease and its very quick to use as well.

OK, here's the skinny on the UCL. Using a magazine from my Buckmark, which fits in the ULC like it was made for it (duh), and comparing it to a magazine from my 41, there are significant differences in size. The Browning is about .075" thinner than the S&W and the Browning is about .070" shorter (front to back, not length wise) than the S&W. So over all, the S&W is a fair amount larger overall than the Buckmark. Not an insurmountable difference if you have access to a milling machine, you say. I believe in order to make this work, you would need to remove equal amounts side to side, but all of the difference between the magazines would have to be removed from one side of the ULC's magazine bay, and that's going to just about wipe out that wall. Planning ahead, you may get by by with reinforcing the wall with something like JB Weld (a personal favorite). You may also need to reduce the size of the screw head that catches the magazine button, but that's going to be a hit or miss proposition, as the button on the S&W is small, and too much off the screw and the button won't catch like it's supposed to and too much and the magazine itself won't clear either.

Bottom line, I believe it can be done - but it won't be easy.

That's a lot of work to modify something that doesn't even work well on magazines that it's SUPPOSED to fit (in my experience). After using this thing - or more accurately, TRYING to use it - I can't come up with a single reason to recommend it. Many people here have said they like theirs. For the life of me, I can't figure out why.

According to YouTube videos, it works great - but then so did the Ronco Popiel products.
