Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 21, 2020 Supporters Share Posted February 21, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 😃 https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/odin-m12-loader-rebuild-kit-crankpaddle-wheelmag-release-etc https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142966769746 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: https://isashop.eu/816-3d-prints#/prijs-0-110 Of particular interest to me is this piece: https://isashop.eu/speedloader-adapters/12736-m12-sidewinder-paddle-wheel-replacement.html 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! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBear Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That's a great link to the adapters! I've noticed they have one for a HK417 too.... I'll drop them a note to see if they are NGRS compatible.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
