I have an old hand injury, so loading a Garand clip became a tedious adventure, so 4 or 5 years ago I made a Garand clip loader from plans I found on the net, out of wood from scrap wood I had around in the garage and basement and a few steel pieces and that fixed the issue. it's not perfect the follower sometimes gives way and the rounds doesn't goes into the clip.
but it's better than loading the clip with my injured hand
well, fast forward to just a couple weeks ago and I found an ad on the CMP FORUM of a guy who makes a 3D metal printed version for a reasonable price, so I bought one, and it came in right before X-mas. took about 10 minutes to assemble it. it's a lot smoother than the one I made and doesn't miss a beat of loading the rounds into the clip
here is the demo of his loader, mine works the same way
so, for you guys who have issues with your hand and have a Garand, this tool is a must have
