gnatshooter Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Friends, The last few months I have been making regular visits to the home page of Maglula, Ltd. hoping for news on the commercial release of a magazine loader for DPMS .308/SR25 magazines. Their website always kept saying that the mag loaders would be out in October 2013. Well, a couple things have just happened. One is that October came to an end. The other thing is that they re-worded things on their website. Instead of saying 'coming in October', they say 'excited to bring you new loaders!' like they will hit the market pretty soon. Elsewhere on the site they say the loaders will be out in November -- which is, as you know, this month. I'd be one of the first to get a Maglula loader for my DPMS mags. They're a pain in the butt to load. Is anyone in our group in a position to negotiate a group buy of these mag loaders for us? It doesn't look like Maglula does sales direct to consumers, so the group buy would have to be a deal through a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm willing to make the call, if a member wants to take the order through their business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 ASC mags in general aren't worth a damn. I have them for my 762x39 build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 308's are not bad to load ! = only use magloaders for 9mm ,40s&w and .223 beta mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be quite difficult to unload though... Case in point those ASC .308 mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaRKle! Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Nahhh. Real easy to unload.......just shoot it. <lmao> Those mags are so bad you need to rack the charging handle about 4-6 times just to release the round from the mag!

jellibean Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hey guy's, I'm new to the forum but thought I'd just mention I use military chargers & striper clips on my DPMS & C-Product mags, they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnatshooter Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Hooray, this morning, November 13, Maglula says their DPMS/SR25 mag loaders are now available! Go to the Maglula home page and scroll to the bottom. It's now time for someone here who knows a dealer to negotiate a group buy for us. Remember, this is the Christmas shopping season!

SwissyJim Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I saw a link on the main MagLula page, and followed it to: Speedloader Store: http://www.speedloaderstore.com/contents/en-us/p390.html Got two as I LOVE LOVE LOVE my .223 loader, and one was stolen at the range. So I always have a spare just in case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissyJim Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's here~ It's here! pre-ordering was successful. Guess I'll load some mags tonight and see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Heh, if you think those are tough, try the 10rnd .308 ASC mags! Don't actually buy those mags though, because they downright SUCK. Do you have feeding issues or fitment issues? I've only got my ONE factory 10rd. S&W magazine with the M&P10 - obviously need to get more and was considering these for a metal magazine. PMAGS have and they fit perfectly in the S&W and they cycle Snap-Caps, but I would like to have some steel mags too. WHo makes a decent 10rd. steel?

PMAGS have and they fit perfectly in the S&W and they cycle Snap-Caps, but I would like to have some steel mags too. WHo makes a decent 10rd. steel?Feeding issues due to the magazine holding the rounds too tightly and the curvature of the feed lips being too steep such that the end of the lips bites into the case of the round instead of cradling it.DPMS mags work for me, but they are known to develop problems more quickly than the high quality steel mags (LaRue, KAC).

gnatshooter Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) This morning, December 1, 2013, Armadillo Supply just updated its page on the DPMS/SR25 .308 Lula mag loaders. Instead of stating it's an "advance reserved order" it's just a regular order page now! http://www.speedloaderstore.com/contents/en-us/p390.html These critters are now available just in time for stocking stuffers!

comradekev Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) So now that someone is building DPMS compatible mag loaders - has anyone read anything regarding SPEED mag loaders (with a stripper clip of some sort) for DPMS magazines?

blue109 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 If only I could shoot enough to justify a mag loader..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatshooter Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Finally got around to using my MagLula loader to load a DPMS mag's worth of .308. There's only one moving part, and the loader device is damnably clever. Once I figured out how to use it (and there is a slight break-in) the whole loading process was fast, and smooth as silk. No jamming thumbs, pushing rounds around, follower wanting to go sideways, etc. I don't shoot a lot like a lot of the big shooters around here, but I'm glad I got the loader and wouldn't want to load mags any other way. Going to a range or elsewhere, I wouldn't leave home without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
