Does anyone know what this part is? It came with my Hi Power when I bought it about 7-8 years ago (off GB). I often wondered and finally decided to ask the forum, where there's waaay more knowledgeable Hi Power experts than me.



It came with this...

It looks like a 22lr Magazine assist loader. 22 magazines usually have tabs on side of magazine to use thumb and index finger to load rounds. This assist loader slips over top of magazine and pushes tabs down . Saves thumb and finger wear. Nice Hi Power btw.

That does make sense ShootingSigs. The only thin 22 mag I have is for a Ruger SR-22 (the others are for double stack conversions); however, it has a bulge that prevents this from fitting. But, you can see how that would probably work. It must have slipped into the box when the seller was shipping it to me.

That gizmo works with my Ruger M678 MKII 22LR pistol mags.

It's a penny. It's made for adjusting scopes.

I agree. That dude must not get out much!

bald1... winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Seeing your Mark II, I dug my MIL's Mark I out of the safe (that she bought around 1945), and it works perfectly! Thanks!

'49 was the first year.

Cool either way.

Oh, Ok, I stand corrected. Thanks cas. She and my FIL are both long gone, so my wife and I were just guessing at the time frame.
