The Magripper by CroMag Corp is a magazine loader which accepts Mail-Std AR magazines and will load via 10 round stripper clips or via 8 cartridges placed in the chute. A simple push down loads them into the magazine.
This and other products shown at Rampart Range Day are available for unit and agency orders in Canada and the US through Rampart.
