I bought some of the Norma 62gr stuff the other day.  It comes loaded 10 Rounds to a clip/50 per box.  No big deal, except the clips do not work with regular GI mag chargers.  Can anyone here help me locate some?   Because otherwise it’s going to suck manually offloading 950 more rounds and then hand feeding those into mags.

I think some European countries use different spoons.  Swedish, maybe.

Edit: I looked, Norma is a Swedish company.

I’ve got several of the plastic stripper clips from Geco 55 grain FMJ 5.56 but don’t have a spoon which fits this clip.  I’m curious if this is the same stripper clip as used by Norma.   Geco had manufacturing facilities in Germany, Switzerland and Hungry IIRC.


I just did a google search for the Geco stripper clip guide and found this video.  This shows you don’t need a stripper clip guide/spoon to use the Geco stripper clip.   I learned something new today, thanks OP for bringing this up.  Maybe this will work with the Norma clips.

Thanks at VASCAR2, but I’m not sure I like that or that it’s going to work.  Not sure if it’s my pmags, my non-operating thumbs or curved mags on the table the won’t stay “flat”, but I’d still like a charger.   Been screwing with this for a few minutes and still no go with 10 round clips into 20/30 round mags.  But thank you so much for taking the time to post.

Yes, I did venture across these.  But since you threw them out here, I’ll spend the $20 w/shipping and give them a buy and try.  Thanks!

By "regular GI mag chargers", are you saying StripLULA doesn't work with those?

No, the little “spoons” for GI stripper clips.  Have not tried the striplula, but it says it works with GI stripper clips, which appear to be a bit thinner due to being metal, where the Norma is a good bit thicker and wider since it’s plastic.

Gen 2 striplulas work with RUAG stripper clips

Striplulas are awesome.
I probably have 4 or 5 of them within my ammo cans.

IIRC, the last time this came up the answer was:

The Stripula thing
or
The Thermold stuff

I’ll grab the striplula as well. Thanks y’all.  I knew you’d come through.

Not sure what Gen mine is but the striplula I have allows the clip to be inserted and plunges the rounds down but getting the plastic clip out afterwards is a bit of a pain as is doesn't drop free.

Happened to have a Thermold loader, Geco stripper clips work great with it!  For me it is actually easier to use than the USGI metal clips and spoon. Think the Norma stripper clips are the same as Geco.  Here is the loader, it also works with the black clips TGH linked to above.
