Krag speedloader wanted

I'm thinking of using my Constabulary rifle in a Garand match this fall (boltgun division) and just saw this speedloader contraption for Krags. I didn't know that there even was such a device. Anyone know where I could get one or have a couple gathering dust in their reloading room that they would part with? The ones with the spring tab are really clever. Gravity does the work. Thanks

Call Paul! - 'psteinmayer' makes a nice brass version of a Krag 'speed-loader'. PM him.

Make some yourself. Not rocket surgery!

The chargers I make are from Parashooter's design. As he said, you could make them yourself. If you just don't have the time, or don't want to mess with it, then PM me.Image

I bought 2 from Paul. First time I used them I laughed out loud they were so slick. When the match director saw them he jokingly said I had to move from the "vintage" class to "modern".

I also have two from Paul.

Well worth the investment
