BillinBama Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I found these Rapid Loader clips and loader, anyone remember them? An obvious copy of the Swedish K loader but using cheaper plastic clips, and the loader is polymer also. When I bought these years ago I wasn't aware of the K version.

Who would go through all the trouble of engineering and manufacturing plastic ones? These have to be some type of government contract... perhaps training rounds of a late production date?

BillinBama Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 The plastic clips broke pretty easily, but the loader itself is robust. It's obviously a direct copy of the K loader, the company advertised in Machinegun News back in the day. Now someone with a 3D printer could crank them out cheap I think.

Got Uzi Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Somewhere I have a stack of those plastic blocks. I’ve got a stack of the metal ones too and a few of the loaders but I never use them…always forget to take them to the range with me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they are used so the price would be relatively low.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Yes, due diligence is required. Someone else just posted two Swedish-k kits for $1600 each, really nice looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 I just bought a Swedish K parts kit on GB, buyer protection is pretty good there I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Yep, that's the one, it rose considerably in the last half hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was teetering on the edge of bidding... just the barrel and shroud are valued over $500 and hard to find. the Trunnion is also of value. I did not like the way the rear of the receiver was cut.... but otherwise.... good catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillinBama Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 I don't think I can go wrong, adding up the individual pieces comes to a good bit more than I paid, plus I don't intend to sell anything anytime soon, so inflation is my friend!

BillinBama Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Well, I've messaged him through GB, emailed him, and called and left a message. The daytime phone number is wrong, but the evening number was his, but nothing so far. I guess it's too early to be worried, but when I sell something I'm prompt in contacting the buyer.

Rekraps Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Another Kit on GB from Recon Ordnance. Jerry Prasser owns it... good man. He was behind the original Swedish K/Wilson project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillinBama Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 i had some Suomi drums when I had my first K and I never got any of them to fit the gun. I remember filing some on the drum but wasn't sure this was the thing to do, and I sold the drums before selling the gun. Now that I have another K I was wondering about buying a drum or two, but only if I can get them to work. Can one of you knowledgeable gentlemen please explain what is necessary to make them function? If its not worth the effort I'll go on to something else, but it would be kinda cool to rip off a drum every now and then. Thanks in advance. And yes, my present gun (like the previous one) has the removable mag well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a grinder, go VERY slow grinding the face (flat) plate of the drum until it just fits snugly. If the drum will not seat into the mag well, then you have to find a drum that will. it took me a while, as each gun was hand assembled from kits (mostly Port Siad) so with the three "K"'s I've owned, two took drums fine, one did not. If you have a gun that does not, Andrewski can fix that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillinBama Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Thanks, I'm gonna start looking for a good deal on a drum. I know there are several on GB, so finding one won't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Pivoting to another topic, I had an original sling on my last K, would like to find at least a good reproduction if possible, appreciate any leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
