Claim:
A mechanism for facilitating the aligning of an open side of a firearm magazine inserted into a magazine loader with respect to a projecting member or plunger of said loader which is arranged to force a topmost round in said magazine further inside said magazine so that a new round can be inserted into said magazine, comprising: an inverted V-shaped member having two inclined-apart spaced legs or wings coupled together, the upper parts of the wings being closer than their bottom ends when said inverted V-shaped member is seen in its inverted V-shaped configuration, a coupler for attaching said inverted V-shaped member to said magazine loader, a spring member coupled to said inverted V-shaped member and to said loader and arranged to urge said inverted V-shaped member onto said open side of said magazine when said inverted V-shaped member is attached to said loader and a magazine is inserted into said loader, whereby when said inverted V-shaped member is attached to said loader and said loader is placed and forced over said open side of said magazine, said open side of said magazine will be aligned by said inverted V-shaped member with respect to said plunger of said loader so that said plunger will be able to force a topmost round in said magazine further inside said magazine.
