jerbod Posted July 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Many years ago I bought a pair of these accessories for my two M3's. They were never used and now I can't even remember what they were to be used for. Obviously, they had to do with film spools somehow. I've tried to convey their details in the attached photos. Shown are two identical sets, each having two pieces. The "spool" has a loosely sliding chromed tube, one pic at full extension, the other pic fully retracted. The smaller item has a clamping screw to attach the item to the chromed tube (I guess). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted July 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2009 I'd post this in the historical section if I were you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
budrichard Posted July 5, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 5, 2009 I believe they are the parts to a 'quick load' system. I never installed one on my M3 as I got used to the loading.-Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted July 5, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 5, 2009 Yes, they are a couple of rapid load kits, I have one fitted to my M2. It doesn't speed things up to the level of an M4/6/7, but it is quite convenient and very easy to self-install. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
