Bren Mag Loader

[Ben]

Ron, I think that's for loading the circular 100 round magazines.

[Ron Pier]

Ah thanks Ben. I don't know of a provision to stow the other type that this thread is about in my Carrier? Ron

ron i'm fairly sure that bracket also comes with the drum mag wooden stowage box

[Lynn Eades]

Ron, As Bruce said. They were obsolete and gone from carriers by early 43.

Yes it does.

[Jon Skagfeld]

...and it's sitting atop an appropriate DND blanket.

Ah thanks Bruce. It reminded me of something similar stowed in my carrier and I Just went down for a look. .... It's empty of course. Ron

Although the ends of these loading/unloading brackets are the same for obvious reasons, their total length is not.

Agreed with Rob : Charging by hand is quicker and you don't have to lug around a cumbersome contraption. I have filled by hand my share of C-1 and C-2 mags in 7.62 and then later of C-7 mags in 5.56 to have an idea on the subject ! But now i am confused : What contraption / Mag loader was fitted in the Mk 1 Carrier box after all this discussion ??
