Taipan / Cricket / RTI, etc… Speedloader

[igolfat8]

Well … sort of…. This method should work for any round magazine in which the pellets fall into like Taipan and Crickets. You would have to cock and load one pellet into the RTI mags to hold it in position but it should work to fill them after that. I mostly shoot single shot when punching paper but when loading mags I used to make a fist, with the mag in the center and sprinkle pellets over the mag but those pesky little pellets would often fall to the ground. So I took an empty tin, 3 pieces of foam, cut a hole in the center of the foam, insert mag into the hole in the foam, drizzle some pellets in, swirl it until the mag is full and no pellets on the ground now.

Brilliant! Next step is to patent this and sell a bunch of them!

igolfat8 Thankyou sir ! This just might help me out with my tremors problem, going to try it out with my cricket mags. Probably might extend the height around the tin also. Such a simple idea thanks again !I have more bad days then good most of the time

@kayaker

Please let me know how it works out for you.

I load my l2 mags this way (index and thumb around the mag). Works great.

Didn’t think of making a dedicated ‘hand’ for it. Nice work.

igolfat8 sorry for the delay, It works great !! sometimes a couple are backwards but not a problem. Sure is a lot easier to load and saves a lot of time. Will be blowing thru those pellets a lot faster LOL. Thanks for your post . Here is my mod, I cut off a strip 1 3/4" from my wife's plastic cutting board then taped it to the pellet tin.

That looks awesome @kayaker ! Thanks for sharing your project. Man if I cut my wife's cutting board I would be chased out with a sharp knife

I know what your saying, I have a wife just like that, I asked her first and she gave me a old one . But, have been caught in the past using her makeup mirrors while working on my truck

Nice idea for those in need...
But as the old saying goes, "use it, or lose it" .

Like to try to keep my fingers and brain working at least somewhat properly, buy...using them, as long...as I can. An extra 5 or 6 seconds to do it by hand, is no big deal "in the relationship of time and jelly doughnuts".
