Mosin Stripper Clips

[TN_Hiker]

Where can I find some quality stripper clips? I got some cheap ones off eBay, and as I expected, they're pretty much garbage. Is there anywhere where I can get some real ones or some quality reproduction ones?

This explains how to load ammo into the stripper clip.

At one point, AIM Surplus had good stripper clips.  I don't see them on their website any more.  I have heard that this type work well.

Here are some for $19.99/20:

These are original surplus ones for a bit more:

The ones I bought are just chinese junk and bend out of shape.

 

I'll check out the links, thanks.  :up:

I got a nice surprise recently when I bought some ammo in brown paper packs.  

When I got to the range and opened them, they were on stripper clips.

The BEST way to get them is to buy some surplus Soviet-bloc ammo already packed in clips. I bought 2 crates of 1950's surplus a few months back and I'm pretty set for stripper clips now.

 

A spam can of the clip-equipped rounds usually contains 300 rounds, which comes out to 60 clips per can. Don't confuse this with the non-clipped cans, which usually have 440 rounds per can.

All the ammo I've ever bought was just the rounds wrapped in brown paper in the tins. I've never found any that came already in the clips. It's probably much harder to now anyways with everyone buying everything up.

 

I saw Aim Surplus sold some like this, but they've been OOS for awhile. I'll have to keep an eye out for some to pop up somewhere.

SGAmmo also sells the cans of stripped ammo from time to time. It usually comes in the older rectangular sharp cornered can, instead of the newer round corner cans.

Thanks, checking it out now. 

 

Have to say, they kill you on the shipping. Ordered 880 round crate of 7.62 from SGAmmo and the shipping was still cheaper than what JG is charging for a single tin. I thought maybe it was just a base shipping price, add on another tin and it doubles. Ouch.

Yeah, they do kill you on the shipping, but they are the only ones that have any of this ammo in stock currently...and the 60 clips are worth at least $60, so that makes it a little better

[tartanphantom]

agreed. Grab it while you can. Surplus ammo-- even Soviet-bloc stuff-- is not infinite in supply. The price per can is really not that bad considering the "bonus" of gaining the clips. the shipping charge does suck though...

I once got some shiny chrome ones from CTD, before I knew better; they're stiff and almost impossible to use. OTOH, I bought a spam can of 1953 Polish from Aim a couple of years back. Clips are a rough gray paint, but they work very well. The ammo all went bang, too.

 

Moral: get a spam can on strippers and don't look back.

I bought some from Amazon, they have held up pretty well.

If you can find any of the Polish surplus for sale, it comes on strippers. I have some of them and the Bulgarian circle 10's too.

Saw a post on surplusrifle last night about a guy who just opened his Polish spam can, found it full of water and ammo/clips severely corroded.  He claimed it was completely sealed (hard to believe), water was packed in before sealing.  Maybe some Polish factory worker expressing his "solidarity"?...

Well
that went fast.  I checked the line a couple days ago.  In stock. 
Today the page is gone.  If you go and browse in, they don't have them
only the 440 cans.

 

I was going to buy a can, maybe they will get more.

Searched the web some and didn't fine any currently in stock.

[TN_Hiker]

I'm going to be keeping a watch elsewhere. Hopefully SGAmmo will get some in at some point. I just couldn't choke down the outrageous shipping charges from J&G. I've never done business with them and it doesn't really look like I ever will.

If that's the case, he's luck it was water!   :puke:

Polish factory worker, with furtive glance "piss on you, comrades"...

I was thinking it might not be water.

If anyone needs some, I have 120 Polish ones for cheap. Local pick-up only, I won't ship.
