    2. Not nails, they're through brass rod with both ends riveted over. That way they can't work themselves out.

    Final version dispensed with two-piece wooden plug, replacing it with integral soldered or folded closure. Unlike some designs, the U-slot is open from above - enabling user to propel cartridges into magazine with thumb or finger of either hand.

    Do you plan to make any more? I just started shooting the CMP Games with a Krag and have been loading individually, one mistake and I'm screwed.

      No. These are strictly for my own amusement. If you need one, making it yourself is not beyond the skill level of anyone who can operate a Krag without mishap. In other words, unless so clumsy your own feet are at risk when shooting, you should be able to handle a little basic sheet metal work.

        Yea, I only cut myself twice, and I'm almost at the level Parashooter mentioned. Brass sheet is available on ebay or other websites that specialize in sheet metal.

              Try Lowes or Home Depot too. They have metal and supplies too. I'm going to make one myself this fall!
