Description
Anyone who has spent an afternoon topping off Mini-14 magazines by thumb knows how quickly that gets old. The Maglula StripLULA takes that chore off your hands. It is a compact, all-in-one loader and unloader made specifically for Ruger Mini-14 magazines in 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington, and it drops your loading time to roughly a third of what it takes doing it by hand. Feed it 10 loose rounds or run a 10-round stripper clip through it, and it does the pushing for you.
What Sets the StripLULA Apart
The whole tool weighs in around 34 grams and slips right into a range bag pocket or cargo pocket without a second thought. It is built from reinforced polymer that shrugs off weather and holds up over tens of thousands of rounds, so this is a buy-once kind of accessory. Because the StripLULA does the heavy lifting instead of your thumbs, it also spares the magazine feed lips from the wear that comes with muscling rounds in, which helps your mags last longer.
Loading and Unloading with the Mini-14 StripLULA
Operation is about as simple as it gets. Slide the loader onto the top of the magazine, work the lever, and rounds seat one after another. When it is time to bring everything back down, the same tool unloads a full magazine in seconds rather than picking rounds out one by one. It is ambidextrous too, so lefties and righties get the same easy handling.
This version is designed around original Ruger Mini-14 metal magazines, and it plays nicely with many polymer and aftermarket Mini-14 mags as well. A few of the thicker aftermarket steel and polymer mags can benefit from holding the base firmly against the magazine for the smoothest feed, and working on a hard surface makes the job even easier. For anyone who runs a Mini-14 regularly, this is one of those small tools that quietly earns its spot in the kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Maglula StripLULA work with stripper clips and loose ammo?
Yes. The StripLULA loads a magazine from both 10-round stripper clips and loose rounds, so you are covered either way. Note that the loader ships without stripper clips, so you will want to supply your own if you plan to use them.
Will the StripLULA fit aftermarket Mini-14 magazines?
It is designed around original Ruger Mini-14 metal magazines in 5.56/.223, and it also works with many polymer and aftermarket Mini-14 mags. With some thicker aftermarket steel or polymer magazines you may need to hold the base firmly against the mag for the smoothest feed. Working on a hard surface helps too.
Can the StripLULA unload magazines as well as load them?
It can. The same tool strips a full Mini-14 magazine down in seconds instead of thumbing rounds out one at a time. That makes it just as handy at the end of a range session as it is at the start.
Will this loader fit my AR-15 magazines?
No, this SL52B version is made specifically for Ruger Mini-14 magazines. AR-15 and M16 style magazines use a different Maglula loader, so if you shoot both platforms you would want the matching AR loader for those mags.
