Parashooter, Thanks! Do you have a picture of the other side of the speedloader once its bent into shape for reference? I see one side in the picture with the wooden forming block dimensions.

Thanks! I think even my feeble mind can figure assembly/fabrication out now. Did you use brass or stainless steel sheeting for the fabrication and what thickness did you use?

I've made functional chargers from brass, copper, aluminum, and even an empty steel WD-40 can. I like brass about .015" thick best. Local hardware store may have it in a "K&S metal display" https://www.ksmetals.com/display-racks.

FWIW, when I'm making chargers, I use 0.016" 260 cartridge brass sheet. I order it online from this OnlineMetals.com, and they're usually very prompt (usually get it in a few days).

A 12 X 12 inch piece is enough to make 5 chargers... however, they'll cut it to what ever size you want!

Couldnt someone a whole lot smarter than me make them with a 3D printer? I have a couple for my K-31

I've talked to one guy that 3D prints K31 chargers in Europe. He didn't have much interest in making them for Krags, though if made right they'll work for Norwegian Krags too.
