Reviews & Ratings for VISM AR Mag Speed Loader V2 — 4 reviews — Page 1

This is the best speed loader I’ve found for AR mags. It handles both loose rounds and strips. Heck of a lot faster than loading one round at a time by hand.

This speed loader works very well for loading loose rounds into 5.56/.223 mags, but it requires some gorilla efforts to get it ready to use the first time.

I ordered a second one, thinking the first one was defective, and the tray cover on the second one was also very tight—but I was able to eventually pry and slide it open using a large flathead screwdriver between the gap between the bottom edge of the cover and the main body. Once I was able to slide the cover open, it was still very, very tight, but it was openable. So I sprayed some DuPont dry lubricant on all the surfaces where parts mated together, and it has worked wonderfully after that. Smooth and quick loading of bulk 5.56 and .223 rounds into all my mags.

At first, I made the mistake of trying to let the rounds rest against their primer side in the loader, and that just did not work and even ended in a couple of dented round casings.

This is one of the simplest and time saving things I have ever used. Simple design loaded 150 rounds in 2 minutes. It is big and bulkier than I expected. It works amazingly.
