MOA .22 LR Loading Tool

Post by Mike in VA »

I seem to remember that at one time there was a tool made to load .22 LR cartridges into the MOA pistol.

Does anyone know of a source?

Did it work?

Thanks.

If you can't find a MOA loading tool. There used to be a shooter from Maryland that used toy clothes pins. You may try those.

When I had my MOA 22, I had the factory loading tool. I found that it did not work all that well. What I did was make some using wooden dowel rod, with clear plastic tubing slipped over it. I used some wooden drawer knobs on the end, and made the around 7 - 8 inches long. With the tubing slipped a bit past the end of the dowel rod, I would slip a 22 round in , and when inserting it into the chamber, the dowel rod would push the round into the chamber- They worked like a charm !!

Thanks for the info.

The DIY version sounds easy enough.
