You also need a loading spoon, which slips over the top of the magazine and holds the stripper clip. Once the stripper clip has been inserted in the spoon, press the rounds in using a smooth, firm motion with the pressure applied near the base of the rounds. Twisting the stripper clip back and forth a couple of times and bending one of the retainer tabs out of the way first makes them work a little easier. Save the strippers. Anybody you know who's in the military should be able to pick up some loading spoons and stripper clips for you if you ask nicely. They're just thrown out with the trash at the ranges, usually. CJ |

Read the Ammo FAQ here, which has a section (and links with pics!) covering stripper clips and bandoleers. www.ammo-oracle.com -Troy |
