7.64x51/308 The cartridges fit in the clips just fine, but the clips don't fit in the action just fine.

I just came in to possession of a Gewher 98 so I recently have been looking into this. It would seem that the Swedish 6.5x55mm Mauser clips work just fine and fit the 8mm Mausers without issue
Here is where I plan on getting my clips. Sarco Swedish Mauser Stripper Clips Hope this helps. |

Swedish clips are marked H, A, K, 070, or a few have no marking. |

I've never had a problem with the 8mm clips I've bought from Liberty Tree, but I idk if they'd hold .308 rounds.

Don't know, I haven't made the order yet. I only found these a day or two ago so hence why I brought them up. |

Did some measuring: The clip slot is 0.635 +/- wide (above the small stops). The clips I got are 0.521 wide.

The receiver is a 1934 Styer Solothurn originally made for the country of Colombia. Other than wasting a few $$ on the unusable clips, it's no big deal, just a bit bothersome.

Peoples don't think clips be like they is but they do. 98 mausers take several different types of strippers depending on country. South american countries that adopted the 98 didn't just up and go for a new caliber/ clip design for logistical reasons. If your rifle has a Columbian receiver than the clip guide is machined to accept the previous style clip they had in inventory.. M93/95/96 mauser clips will work. So will 1903 springfield clips (they ripped of mausers design) |

I bought a 40 pack of the Swedish 6.5 ones on ebay. Someone on another board said they work for most any surplus calibers/rifles.
