Hi, Here is my mag box with original 'one piece' rubber liner, held in with split rivets, one piece being if you were to remove it from the box it would form a 'cross' when layed flat with the corners scored but not cut right through to form the bend.
To get the lid shut you may well have to grind the feet a little of the loader, I know two other people who had to do the same. kev.

Kevin That's great! Thanks! Are the rivets copper or brass?

Hi, The original split rivets were steel as they rusted out and stained the rubber,I used copper, cant remember the length but enough to go through the steel box and rubber with about 3 to 4 mm splayed out each side. Rivet diameter to suit the holes.
Used copper as mild steel ones are rare. kevin.

I have seen variations to the loaders: some you have to grind the feet and some fit right in.
The loaders seem to have become more common in the last few years....hard to say why. Likely just the power of the internet and it's search engines.
