TIL that there are speed loaders for .22 tubular magazines (i.e. for lever and pump action rifles)

I bought one of these around 1970,made in Ohio. They 'used to cost' ca $40CDN about 5-years ago when I got another 60 so I made my own with Vinyl 'ice-maker' tubing and cut 308 cases. The mouth of the case fits the Marlin-60 Tube perfectly. I then taped 4 together w-packing tape, around a section of threaded rod for 'stiffness'. Plugged the open end w-foam earplugs. Still working . . .
BTW - with these or the commercial ones, you 'load the loader' the 'night before'. Gives ca 120 rounds in mine, for the amazon ones # can be specified, I think.
