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

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 ??

It is a loader like shown in post #8, but lacking the two little "feet". I have one somewhere in the gunroom that also lacks the little feet, so will fit in the Carrier stowage box. If I spot it, I'll get a photo and post it here.

Here is my bren mag loader in the stowage bin on my carrier. I cut the 2 feet down to fit in the bin.
