Does anyone else have difficulty loading the MKA 1919 magazines?
Is there some magic trick?
It seems like the raised areas pressed into the sides of the magazines
are in just the right place to interfere with the rims of the cartridges.
Between those and what seems like an extra long spring, I find them
a bear to load. I've had to hold the follower down using a "Chop Stick"
and then push on each previous cartridge in order to load another.
What a P.I.A. I would hate to have to load them with cold fingers.
