| can someone please link me to the cheapest place to get stripper clips. i cant seen to find them for less than .30 a piece which is crazy in my opinion. there has to be a site that has them for 10 or 15 cents a clip. would anyone have any links to such a site? thanks in advance |
Old Sarge's Drop Zone has 'em on the cheap, bottom of the linked page.

Some ranges charge by 15 minute intervals whereas others charge by the hour, and having strippers is the fastest way to reload a magazine. I use them all the time at the public range because I only bring about 10 mags with me. I find that when I bring more mags, some don't always make their way back home. |
+1 on stripper clips, never leave home without them. I just can't belive anybody would be prejudiced against Strippers. I love em. I used to have a contraption that mounted on my alice belt & you mounted a mag into it, kinda of like a dummy magwell & it served as a stripper clip guide. Handiest thing, but somewhere along the way I lost it. Anybody know who made them & if they are still in business? M9 |

Try here too - they are on the forum once and a while: Stripper Clips 5Shot |
He is just jealous because he doesn't have enough ammo to justify putting them on stripper clips  ETA: A few shoots ago, some thief made off with ALL my chargers and CTD has kept me hanging for over THREE WEEKS because their 10 packs of chargers are on backorder. At least replacing chargers is cheaper than replacing magazines. |
You've apparently never carried a basic combat load of ammunition, let alone twice that amount. Seven 30 rounds mag is plenty - when you can re-load them quickly with stripper clips. And it is a lot easier to carry another bandoleer or two of ammunition on stripper clips than it would be to carry a comparable amount in magazines given the greater space and weight required to carry the same number of rounds in magazines (8 to 10 more 30 round mags needed to carry 240-280 rounds of additional ammunition, and that ammunition does not carry nearly as well in magazines and pouches as it does in 2 bandoleers.) Military applications aside, stipper clips are handy to have on the range. You can load 5 or 10 rounds at a time into the mag from a stipper clip if the situation dictates faster than you can individually. Sometimes after a 5 or 10 shot string it is nice to have the bolt lock open on top of an empty mag - it saves you from having to drop the mag and eject the 6th or 11th round from the chamber to clear the weapon. Stripper clips also mean that by the end of a long shooting session you are neither awash in empty mags nor tired of single loading rounds. |

Stripper clips are awesome. I bought the Radway Green ammo at AIM and it all came on strippers. I just wish they would have included the stripper clip guide with it. No biggie though, they don't cost much. You can load 30 rounds into a magazine in seconds. Sure the heck beats popping them in one at a time. DW |

My last batch of stripper clips had some grit/sand/walnut media (???) stuck in the clips. I had to disassemble some of the clips to clear out the grit. A PIA, but I love my stripper clips. Would one on you engineers invent a stipper clip loader for us? A +1 for Old Sarges. My order came promptly and accurately filled. Mark |

Dude IM me with your address... I have a bunch I just got with an ammo order. I won't charge a dime. They just need a good home. ETA: I have like 80+ that you can just HAVE. Don't buy that stuff. I get a lot of plinking ammo on strippers, I just use a LULA... fast enough for me. Oh, and don't mind the peanut gallery. |
Thank you very much, guess this prove's there really are nice people in this world :) ETA: now i just need to find a stripper clip guide, where? |
IM me your address,and I will send you one,no charge |

Check out Wu's surplus. He has them for $.06 each. Wu's Surplus The Four Pocket Bandoleer Kits consist of the bandoleer, 12 Stripper Clips, Stripper Clip Guide, Safety Pin and four pocket cardboards and costs $3.00. I store the majority of my ammo with these. |
