Variable Wrote:I'd love to have one. Unfortunately there are two problems that preclude me from getting one.

1.) If someone does make them for sale they'll likely get sued to infinity by "Maglula Ltd.". That design has been around for a long time, and is patented by "Maglula".

Savage Shooter Wrote:Well, if it's been around a "long time" maybe it's not under patent protection anymore. For applications filed before June 8, 1995 and for patents that were still in force on June 8, 1995, the patent term is either 17 years from the issue date or 20 years from the filing date of the earliest U.S. or international (PCT) application to which priority is claimed (excluding provisional applications), the longer term applying.

2.) Maglula insists on attempting to become independently wealthy on every single benchloader transaction. I would have bought one from them years ago, but I refuse on general principle to pay over 400 dollars for a piece of grooved plastic! Awesome idea, but the price? That's just obscene! :mad:

I frown rather severely on bootleg knockoffs, but in this one particular incidence, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they did get bootlegged. Heck, I'd probably even buy one....

Variable.....is that the $20 model? I like it....

Variable Wrote:Well.....






Works just fine....

Thank you Kikn!!!!!!!!!

Kikn Wrote:Awesome!! Have you had a chance to try out out with the grendel yet to see if it works?

Kikn Wrote:Bummer. I saw one of the posts that someone requested he make it for the 6.8 SPC not sure if he did or not. But if there was enough interest in sure he could be persuaded to make a batch.
