One, the “AR-15 Super Slim Fixed Rear Sight - Black,” is currently featured on EBay’s landing page for “Hunting Scope Mounts & Accessories” as the site’s fourth-highest-rated product in the category.Īnother, a Thordsen-brand “Featureless AR15 Rifle Stock,” had a starting bid of $79 and free pickup available in Redwood City. (These listings don’t specify compatibility with assault weapons but still show the tool being used with high-capacity magazines.) Three more listings for the exact same speed loader remain online, with 672 units sold among them.

This is all despite EBay rules that forbid the sale of “parts and accessories for assault weapons” - a policy that a spokesperson said extends to “parts designed for assault weapons … even if they can also fit non-assault weapons” - as well as all high-capacity magazines and any firearm components that are banned in California.Īfter The Times brought the speed loader to EBay’s attention, it was taken down, along with eight other product listings that the company determined were in violation of its policies. The main photo also showed the loader being used to fill a high-capacity magazine. That list consisted overwhelmingly of assault rifles, including the AR-15, AK-47, M-16, AK-74, HK33, G36 and Steyr AUG. Fifty-nine units had already been sold.Īlthough it advertised the product as universal, the post helpfully included a list of firearms it could be used to load. Until last week, the speed loader was available for purchase on the e-commerce platform, with free shipping from Shanghai. That’s the promise of the “Universal Magazine Speed Loader For Rifle,” a product meant to cut down on how long it takes to slot ammunition into a gun magazine.

But should you manage to get your hands on both, you can reload them faster than ever with just $10.99 and a few clicks on EBay. So are high-capacity magazines that can hold more than 10 bullets. AR-15s are largely illegal to sell in California.
