Searching For "Real" 7.62mm 5rd Stripper Clips

AustDeathMachine · 03-07-2012, 01:46 PM

I'm looking for a decent price on the 5-rd stripper clips for 7.62mm NATO.

Either US GI, NATO or Aussie etc.

So far I've either found real ones in poor condition for $1 each, Chinese rip off junk or stuff from Outer Elbonia that's even more out of spec.

Please don't say SARCO as the 12 I got as samples were crap that was too loose to hold the ammo in. Like it fell out before it could get into the bandoleer.

I'm wanting these for a reloading project for my .308Win rifles. Which are all self loaders right now.

I want everything on stripper clips, in bandoleers, sealed in a plastic bag ala a 50rd mini battle pack, then 200rd per ammo can.

I need a source for these in maybe 50-100 a time. Maybe more if that will cut the price down.

So far Google has not helped.

Lord help me I may have to go to gunshows again.

I apprecaite the reply and effort.

But those are Chinese mfg and don't work well in my expericence with them.

I've got 48 of them. They are like the SARCO ones in that the leaf spring or flat spring in them dose not have enough spring tension to hold the rounds in place if you are going to carry/transport them any distance. Thankfully I bought them back when they were something like $20 per 50 IIRC.

I won't recommend Gun Parts Corp after the last 2 dozen M1903 Springfields stripper clips, 75% of them ended up in the garbage as the were non functional.

I think I'm just gonna have to hit the gun shows with 5 dummy .308Win rounds or just 5 pieces of .308 brass. So I can test before I buy.
