It you have not had the chance to use a magazine loader/unloader, it is probably . The new MagLULA that was just announced is an upgraded version of the tried and tested original that fits atop an AR magazine to allow rounds to be easily loaded or unloaded. Like flicking a switch, the arm of the new MagLULA pushes around (or follower) down to allow for space for a new round to be dropped into place. A simple but an ingenious invention that has helped shooters load up more easily for almost two decades.

Purists will argue that the new MagLULA (or original) is unnecessary, relying on their thumbs to do all the work. For those who own fully automatic ARs, attend high round count carbine classes, or who are physically impaired, the MagLULA is a welcome addition to a range kit.

Details are listed below.

After 17 years of production we’ve created a more compact, lighter, smoothly-operated loader & unloader. Further, the new loader fits and releases from both magazines held by a magazine-coupler. Part number and price remain unchanged.
