I bought a cheap clone, partly because I didn't realise that it was a rip off of an original design, and partly because a genuine one is too rich for my wallet and occasional use at a CQB site with a very low ROF.

 

The sticky-out part of the handle will come off on the clones.  They all do.  But the winder mechanism itself is still usable, just cable-tie or key-ring a new handle on.

 

And you can use them to fill mags other than M4 if you can find an M4-magwell-to-your-mag adaptor - I use mine to fill MP5 mags.

Yeah I mean ultimately if your clone breaks you could just buy the rebuild/spares kit for 10 quid and you'll end up with 80-90% of the mechanism components as genuine and that way your paying something back to the OG manufacturer while not breaking the bank...  den evy bodeh happeh! 😃

I've been meaning to get some of the adapters, need MP5/AK/G36. I've read a couple reviews where people say they only can get a half filled mag using the adapters, but i'm fairly certain those guys are just unaware that they need to tighten up the clutch a bit.

 

This shop actually does a lot of custom 3d parts for the Odin including pretty much every adapter model you can think of:

Of particular interest to me is this piece:

I'm not sure, but I've got a feeling the 4 pushers (as opposed to 6 on the og) may allow 4 BBs per segment, which would mean 16 rounds per rotation...  dat lil bit extra like! 😎
