You are correct in that statement. You could use multiple 10-round MA Loaders for instance to load one 30 round Magpul magazine. You would need to pay special attention not to release the bolt however as you introduced and extracted each MA Loader to you ejection port until the third MA loader.

Is this compatible with stainless steel magazines?

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Mean Arms, Manufacturer from GA, United States, on February 05, 2025

Although it is potentially possible to use this product with some assorted metal magazines, we designed the product to work specifically with STANAG polymer Magpul brand magazines. While designing the loader we decided to use Magpul for "mating" our system since it is by far the most popular 5.56/.223 magazine in the world.

will this work with 350 legend?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 08, 2024

The MEAN Arms loader in 5.56/.223 will not work with the 350 legend round. The MEAN Arms is built to exacting specs and the 350 legend cartridge is too tall.

Nicholas, guest, from NY, United States, asked on May 07, 2022

Do they make these for AR 15s chambered in 7.62x39?

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Mean Arms, Manufacturer from GA, United States, on June 01, 2022

As of right now we only offer the 5.56/.223 and 7.62x51mm MA Loaders. As technology progresses we are looking at small batch loaders based on 3D printing. This will make it cost effective for us and the end user. The single largest expense is always the mold. If we can remove that expense we are interested in the more exotic calibers and capacities like your 7.62x39mm. We are not quite there yet but making steady progress. Please watch our website and social media for future products. Thanks for your interest and support of MEAN Arms.
