Torture Test, October 23, 2009
By Nedgo from California
 
"I gave one of these to my son who is in the Marine Corps, he was going into SOI (School of Infantry) and I figured he might be able to use it. After he got home months later, I asked him about it, he said he used almost daily with live rounds and blanks. Just as much as loading, he said that being able to unload mags was a very valuable feature as they did not necessarily use everything during an exercise. He loved it and it saved a lot of wear and tear on his fingers / thumbs. He was already tired and it made a tedious task that much easier. His fellow Marines asked about it and where they could get one! If it can make it through Marine Corp training that is a better review than anything I can do to it out here! Great piece of gear, I have purchased a few more for some of his Marine buddies going overseas."

"I wasn't sure what to expect when I initially ordered the item. Once it arrived, it only took a matter of seconds before I understood the operation of the item as well as being able to operate it. I have already recommended it to several friends. It seems as though it will stand up to heavy use and is very easy to operate. It definitely beats stripper clips!!!"

The Lula, April 20, 2009
By drod03
 
"This is a pretty sweet little gadget. At first I was skeptical of the price, but Cabela's had the best deal around. This makes loading/ unloading magazines fast and extremely easy. It clips right on top of the magazine, and all you do is have to move the lever back and forth, and insert ammo. It is possible to load a 30 rd mag in 30 seconds and even better it doesn't damage the ammo or the mag at all. It was definitely worth the money."

Sore thumbs & stripper clips move aside!!!, May 17, 2008
By UtahDesperado from SLC, UT
 
"This is the best investment you can make for anything you use that takes AR style mags. I bought this just to save my thumbs when loading magazines, but I was totally blown away at how fast and painlessly I could unload my mags. I've used this on all my aluminum and steel USGI mags, as well as the Magpul P-Mags with no problem. It also works on Ruger Mini-14 mags. I've also bought the pistol, M1A, and AK versions because I liked this gadget so much. I'm hoping they'll come out with even more varieties for the SKS and 10/22, among others. You seriously won't use anything else once you get yourself one of these!"

Mag Lula a must have item, March 7, 2008
By cyamate from Diamond Bar, CA
 
"For any shooter the Butler Creek Lula is a must have item. I have owned countless reloading tools and none of them work as well as this product does. Loading and unloading is now an effortless task without having to pre load your rounds into stripper clips or line them up in a row loader. They make a loader in most automatic rifle platforms. I own three, one for the AR, one for the AK, and one for the M1A.

I used mine during a training course and it paid for itself. No cuts on my thumbs from sharp feed lips. No offset or improperly seated rounds. I attached the Lula to my shooting gear and now to load I just reach into the ammo can, grab a handfull, and load away. Now if they can just make ammo cheaper I would be all set."

Great Piece of Gear, January 8, 2008
By cloneboy from Al Asad, Iraq
 
"Bought this a few months prior to my deployment, and I was itching to try it out. Loading my mags was easy and fast. You just flip the switch and drop a round in. I saw a buddy unloading a bunch of spare mags, and I told him to try the Lula out. After a bit of familiarization, he was dumping rounds out faster than you could count. After he handed it back, he asked where he could get one. If I had my way, this thing would be a standard issue item."

Superior Loader, December 20, 2007
By Nutnfancy from SLC, Utah
 
"I've used all sorts of "rapid loading" for .223 mags over the years and this is by far the best. It's simple, lightweight, travels well, and is durable. With a little practice you should be able to crank out both your magazine reloads and de-loads (which few loaders can do). There's none better."

Why 5 stars? Guys laughed when I pulled it out to reload mags. None of us had stripper clips. Within a few days it "sprouted wings" and disappeared. How's that for a product endorsement: someone "discretely borrows" it and doesn't give it back...?

There is a reason this thing gets 5 star reviews: it can hardly be improved upon! It clips solidly on any mag I've tried. Working the lever in either direction compresses the follower/round to allow another round to be inserted, so - push back, drop in a round; pull forward, drop in a round. Same thing for unloading (carrying loaded AR mags here in California is a Bad Idea!) only faster. Plus, the lever retracts into the body for a bit more tidy storage; also good for protection of the lever, I suppose.

MagLULA -- what's in a name? Not much, unless it happens to belong to one of the greatest inventions to benefit all thumb-kind! After loading several hundred rounds of .223 into AR15 mags by thumb "barbaric!", I was intrigued to note an invention by Butler Creek that would prove to be boon to thumbs everywhere. In the hand, it is a thing quite simple. Plastic, unthreatening, seemingly inanimate; HOWEVER, upon either unloading or loading a magazine the LULA seemingly takes flight. No more would I harm my clips, no more would I injure my thumbs! It turns a mundane and painful act into one of utter simplicity. I would wish one on anyone who loads AR15 magazines period.

I bought this because of the previous good reviews and I saw one demo'd at a gun show, so I thought I'd pick one up from Midway since it was on sale. Just tried it myself and I got to say it does make loading mags easier and stripping them WAY easier. I also like how the handle folds into the unit for storage. It's built sturdy and looks like it will last. I'll probably pick up another, one for home and one for the range bag.

Works as advertised, saves wear and tear on your thumbs and the magazine ears. Does not load as quick as stripper clips, but is a heck of alot easier to use. Definitely worth the price paid, you'll wonder why you didn’t get one sooner. Would make a great gift for anyone who totes a M16/AR15.

I bought this after a recommendation from a friend. It woks great! However, it's doesn't like the Israeli Orlite magazines so much, it pops off after bullet 26, so you have to hold it down. 20 round magazines are a little tough too, at round 18 it wants to pop off. The PMAG is the best. The standard aluminum 30 round magazines work fine too. Just be aware that not all magazines are equal. I highly recommend this as part of your range bag or on your combat gear. It unloads magazine very fast, I was surprised. I recommend that if you don't have a pouch for it, get a little snap link to clip it to your gear.

Before I deployed to Iraq, my son handed me his and simply said that "it would save me some time". WOW, what an understatement. It was well worn (it already had 2 deployments) but worked flawlessly. And it was used by many in my unit as all the ammo we got was loose. I could load 10 magazines in the time it took everyone else to load 2, and no sore thumbs! I gave it back when I got back but I'll buy my own if I have to deploy again. I also want to try one of the pistol mag loaders.

For a .223 AR magazine, you will not find anything easier. You can simply grab a handful of rounds in one hand, work the LULA with the other, and drop the rounds in one at a time. Stripper clips are slightly faster, but you must first load the stripper clips. Mine even works on a few of my 6.5 Grendel mags. I can't wait until there is one made to fit them.

I'm very fond of the UPLULA, the MagPul universal pistol magazine loader. I just tested the .223 loader and unloader and it works very well. I wasn't sure if I'd like it much because I thought it might be some hardware of dubious value, given that loading .223 magazines is a lot easier than loading pistol magazines. I found the .223 mag loader to make the loading process considerably faster, even after taking time to install the mag loader and remove it after the mag is loaded. The loading was easier and faster, but the .223 magazine loader and unloader really shines when unloading an AR mag. Flip the toggle lever and the rounds just drop out effortlessly. While .223 mags are generally easy to load, they're a big pain to unload manually. The .223 magazine loader and unloader securely attaches to both USGI metal mags as well as the newer MagPul polymer PMAGs.

The AR-15 Mag Lula works the same way as my AK-47 Mag Lula. It won't load rounds as fast as stripper clips and a stripper clip guide, but the Lula unloads the magazines faster than anything you can find on the market. It's great for testing magazines and for speedloading (max speed you can load is about 1 rd a second depending on how fast you work).

I don't understand all this whining about sore thumbs but this product works as advertised. Especially to unload. If you maintain multiple full mags at all times like I do you should have one of these for your rotation procedure.
