AR15/M16 Magazine Loading Spoon and Clips

thingiverse

DESCRIPTION: Utilizes Znidar's spoon and clip for ease of clip printing and lowered possibility of clip breakage. Altered spoon for a lower profile and decreased material use. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4246613) Takes the spoon rail from Caboose's design for a more positive interface with the magazine (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:90689) FILES: [10RD_STRIPPER_CLIP.stl] : Znidar's unmodified 10 round stripper clip. [20RD_STRIPPER_CLIP.stl] : Coupled 10 round stripper clips. Try not to flex the clip with the force and weight of all the cartridges as it could break. Mostly for fun/experimentation. [LOADING_SPOON.stl] : See description. [LOADING_SPOON_NO_RAIL.stl] : Same as [LOADING_SPOON.stl] but with no spoon rail to be compatible with most/all magazines. Slide over and hold in place with thumb while charging. NOTES/TECHNICAL: More so intended for USGI-style magazines as PMAG rails can be a tighter fit. Some filing may be required if you opt to use the spoon rails on polymer magazines. Run an EMPTY casing through each clip both ways to help reduce binding when charging. Do this until the casing can move freely. Some type of liquid lubricant can assist with this, but be careful with ammo storage on clips with oils. Remove resulting debris as needed. PLA/PETG, .15mm layer height. May need to print slower for clips, use bed adhesive, large brims, or rafts if needed. Be aware of collisions or dragging given high Z-height and small X/Y area for adhesion. Supports enabled for 20 round stripper clip. Supports enabled for loading spoons, print as already oriented.
