Does anyone have one of these they are willing to part with? I need one for the XMG I recently purchased.

Thanks!

The Yugos sold for $400 when they were around... much cheaper is the modern .308 loader with a modified hopper so that it can load 8mm, unless you want the look of the old Yugo loader.

Allegany had them two weeks ago for $375.

Did you have to call them, because the website still says out of stock? If so, I'll call first thing Monday.

Thanks!

Call them. Sometimes if they only have one or two of something, they don't list it on the website.

Called them and sure enough they had a few. I now have one coming. They are actually $395.

Thanks again for the heads up! :D

Is anyone making a conversion kit for the .308 loaders to 8mm?

There was a member who bought the fabricating jig from the original designer of the conversion kit over a year ago.I don't remember the new jig owners name,and at one time he did announce he was going to take over production,but I have'nt heard mention since.I sold my spare conversion kit to a member last year.Now you reminded mr that I have another project to try and get done! :lol:

The last I heard was that panaceabeachbum made an offer to purchase the dies to stamp out the conversion parts......but that the original owner didn't respond to that offer. So I don't know if the deal went through. I suspect not since we have not heard of anyone offering these again.

I too have one of these conversion kits that needs to be done. :roll:
