| Just like the title says. Is there anything other than the original that works for a c96? |

Back in the 80s there was a lot of Czech 9mm floating around loaded on clips. If you can find some of that it would probably work. I had a friend who fed his bolo with it. Just a couple of problems. It’s AP, so you won’t find it in stock anywhere, and it only holds 8 rounds. That’s all I got. Have you tried M16 strippers? |
| Back in the days before easily available 7.62 Mauser/ Tokarev ammo being available ( my brother got his first broom handle in the early 70’s, when ammo was impossible to find) and he cut down and reformed 223 cases to make ammo. I would suspect M16 stripped could work ( minor dimension differences between the reformed 223 case head/ extractor groove and true 30 Mauser cases but not enough to matter I think) |
