A few years ago, I bought 20 of these at $2/each in the Relic Room of The Smoky Mountains Knife Works. I haven’t seen any more since, and never really looked online for more.
There are serious collectors, not just shooters, that hunt these down for the different manufacturer’s marks/date codes. This collectivity is raising prices. Here’s a website |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I see Greek surplus ones occasionally, are they any good? I have a couple that came on the Greek ammo I bought a couple years ago, they work fine so far. But I don't do a lot of re-use on them, shoot them once and then reload them once, then shoot old ones again to use the ammo, reload with newer ammo. So I probably haven't re-used them a bunch of times. |

I know two or three guys with SA and H&R M1's who bought/used HXP ammo and the Greek clips worked fine in all their rifles.

OP,
If you’re still looking for some, PM me your address, and I’ll send you 8-10 clips. They are from either Greek HXP or LC ammo, and worked fine. Just give me a few days to get to the post office (probably Saturday). |

My buddy and I bought our first garands in the late 90s and shotgun news had an add having a barrel full of clips. We didn’t buy it, but st the time I think they were about 4 or 5 for a dollar
