ADAPTER (just the adapter piece)


The Lightnin' Grip Mag Loader comes from McFadden Machine... That's the genius behind the "Ultimate Cliploader" for Ruger MK pistols. Their new Lightnin' Grip Magazine loader for the Ruger 10/22 has the same ingenuity and reliable function... And Here's Why:  
  First, McFadden realized there are significant differences in the lips and feed angle of aftermarket 10/22 mags. Some are off-center and others are centered... These first two adaptors address those two characteristics and load Tactical Innovations, Butler Creek, Shooters Ridge, Champion, Ramline, and Eagle magazines flawlessly. Adaptors for other magazines are coming as soon as each one is perfected (Sorry not for Ruger Brand Magazines).
  Second, This loader shoves your .22 shells directly backward into the magazine. A long, straight trigger lever stroke accomplishes this completely in one action. Other 10/22 mag loaders have a turn-crank that can sometimes jam or slow down the loading process. 
  

LIGHTNIN’ GRIP LOADER INSTRUCTIONS

1.) Slide open the Bullet Reservoir Cover and drop in up to (50) 22LR cartridges.

2.) Close cover. Gently shake the Lightnin’ Grip Loader, keeping it level and
the reservoir cover on top.

3.) Raise the reservoir end to slide the cartridges in to the Loading Channel.

4.) Repeat #2 and #3 until the Loading Channel fills sufficiently.

FILL WITH AMMO

5.) Raise the reservoir end and smoothly squeeze the trigger to load a round
into the magazine. The trigger needs to return to the nearly out position to
seat the round and stage another bullet for loading. It is usually a good idea
to count the bullets going in to know when to stop. It is possible to force in an
extra round.NOTE: Quickly snapping the trigger in can cause the bullets to bounce in some
magazines and “hook” the rims in the wrong direction making them hard to get out.
Sometimes a hard rap on the bottom of the magazine with your palm or on a book
will bounce the bullets to unhook them.


ALIGN BULLETS

TIPS:

Some 22LR cartridges are real sticky with wax lube. After filling the reservoir, give
them a shot of Remington (Rem Oil) Teflon Spray Lube. Only a small amount is
needed.

CAUTION: the unit is molded from Lexan, and some lubes will attach it.

Not all magazines fit the same; you may need to apply a little seating pressure
against the magazine as you are loading it. As Pictured here.

Periodically take a look at our website for updated tips.

Worth its weight in gold

If you shoot a lot of .22 then this is a must-have in your range bag. I've fed a good variety of ammo (CCI, Aguila, Remington, Federal) and it all fed great. Occasionally the very last round will jam up, but a littler percussive maintenance fixes it. Otherwise I've yet to have an issue using this with my AR-15 .22 magazines.

Amazing

Makes loading magazines a fricken breeze. No sore thumb and you can load as fast as you can pull the trigger. Seems like the plastic isn't all that durable but I haven't had any cracks or issues. Would recommend to anyone.

Works Fantastic!

This loader is the proverbial sliced bread when using BDM mags with .22lr conversions. All my mags have the extended follower and this device is flawless. Because of now owning this, I'm taking my .22lr dedicated AR's to the range more often. A must have if you like your .22lrs!
