Items came in, just tried it on a 204 5rd fixed mag with 10 in the MA loader, works great the first time and only time I tried it. Got 2 loaders and one feed ramp per what they said I would get. Maybe try it out tonight chuck hunting.

No need for fixed mags. The mags ain't broken! Just the stupid law is broken. Tell those assholes in Albany to fix that.

It works mint for the 204,,,shoved it in an unloaded 5rnd mag,,,6 were put in and the bolt closed when I pulled out the MA loader. Shot 9 chucks tonight, found only 7, grass is getting to long to find them,,,,missed 3. Also saw one fox and a nice size buck.
The ETA on mine is Saturday.

Nice shooting. I haven't shot chucks in a long time. What do you do with them? Just leave them for the coyotes to chew on?
I make woodchuck meatloaf with special seasonings to make it really taste good, created by my long lost great grandma and when complete and garnished I feed it to the children on days they do good in school.
Leave them for the vultures and any other hungry creature.

They are clean animals, and a young one parboiled, refrigerated overnight, then the next day bar-b-qued with your favorite red sauce are delicious.
So have you guys had a chance to use these mechanism's yet? Really interested if they work as advertised. Oh and, FUAC!

I've had stewed groundhog a couple of times during a Dutch oven cook off at a redezvous that the wife and I attend every year.
It actually isn't too bad. I've eaten worse things. Some of the most expensive beef that you can buy is grass fed and that's all that Grass pigs eat.

my friend just got the 2 he order months and months ago finally .. they work and are slick .. I even tried it on his AR 300BO a few hours ago ...
.. not hard at all to push them in at all .. after you push them in and pull the loader BAM!!! bolt releases and and your ready to rock n roll ..

I got mine in about a week ago, haven't installed it yet. I had ordered the MA Lock also, but instead I got an extra loader (for a total of 3).

Gave it a quick try. Not impressed. Especially for the price. Perhaps I need practice.
Nonetheless it might be prudent to keep one of these loaders in the rifle case of every fixed mag.

I wonder if they work on left hand guns, and variants of the .223.

I finally got around to installing this yesterday... I removed the original dust cover fine (after consulting the YouTubes), but apparently I can't install the MA dust cover with an optic installed (may have to move back-up sight back and remove optic for now). The Mean Arms site says some trimming may be needed. It also says the dust cover-loader isn't needed, but I thought I'd give it a try. This is where I ran into an issue.
I only have a few dummy rounds, so I figured I'd use live rounds but remove the firing pin so there's no chance of an ND. Well, the BCG wouldn't go forward all the way after I reassembled the upper and lower. Because it wouldn't go forward I couldn't separate the upper and lower. After furious Internet searching, the only way to fix it was to remove the buffer tube (and catching all the resulting spring explosions) and pulling the BCG out that way.
There is a very slight gouge on one of the BCG lugs (basically just took some of the NiB coating off), I can only assume it was hitting the barrel extension and not 'locking in'? I feel like an idiot but not sure what happened. After reassembling the BCG, reinstalling the buffer tube (good practice I guess) and reattaching the upper and lower it seems fine. Did not try not the MA loader yet as I was kinda pissed at that point. At least there doesn't appear to be any lasting damage.
Think I'll try again with this video as a guide - He has an optic so maybe the base on my SIG Romeo5 is just wider than normal?

And this is exactly why a fixed magazine is no good. One malfunction and the gun becomes useless if you need it.
Just saying.

Do you just assume everyone owns one firearm?

Bullshit. It doesn't matter how much you say it, it doesn't make it true. If the rifle jams or double feeds, the same rules apply. The follower needs to be dropped, whether it's the magazine, or just the follower. Nobody is claiming it's as quick to clear as a removable magazine, but no, the rifle doesn't become useless. Stop spewing bullshit please, thanks.

Yeah. Ok. Sure. You can drop the feed lips too. Right. My mistake.
3 Fixed mag guns, installed my Mean Arms shit with no problems. That thingmagigger on the hole I had to monkey with a little bit but had no real problems. Ive never had a jam in one of my guns, I hunt with them. I leave the jihadist russian cannibals that come into my yard every night alone and let the neighbors do the fighting.
