Thanks Colin. I know the two lugs / legs you mean. They are about 1/2" high. I did wonder if they were the problem. I'd like to see what the earlier one looks like.

Well........
I read this post yesterday but didn't want to admit I cut the lower 2 lips off of my loading tool but now that the cats out of the bag,,,,,yes I cut them off and it fits just right in the stowage bin now. I think the earlier one must have not had them on and later produced loading tools they were added to give leverage by hooking it on an edge of table or box?

Bren mag loader
Guys, do not forget that the BREN comes from Czechoslovak pre-WWII licence of the ZB26 machine gun, including the mag loading tool. The ZB26 had straight magazine. I think the tool looks very similar but will not fit. I own the ZB26 loader but cannot compare with the Bren one. I will take a picture later.
The Bren loader would probably have the broad arrow stamped on it?
