.223 on Stripper clips(where?)

[lone-wolf]

Seen this on youtube, also came with a stripper clip guide & was in the new style cardboards(3 stripper clips per cardboard)
Any ever make it up here? It was being sold in a walmart in the US in the video I seen.
If not that specific type, does any .223 ammo you can buy come on stripper clips?

Not sure what you saw on youtube but it's 5.56 that usually come on stripper clips .223 is commercial and comes in commercial packaging. You can find repack kits sometimes at gun shows. (clips, spoons/chargers, cardboards and bandoleers) you may find some 5.56 on clips at a show as well but it's been a while since I've seen any in quantity for sale. I still have almost a full can of US M855 that I've been holding on to so it was up here at some point in the past.

Yea, it was federal brand 556

Don't know if this works, but 7.62 x 25mm ammo surplus ammo from Marstar, comes on 8 rd. stripper clips. 223. ammo fits on these nicely, but don't know if they would charge a mag.

Got a link for the youtube vid? I'm curious as to what it is you saw.

Nice! Wish we could get it here like that. Just to be clear though that's 5.56 not .223, some people say it's the same others don't.

Available in Canada do you mean? The frangible stuff is usually pricey from what I've seen.

A HUGE thanks Nemesis! I've been looking for that stuff for more than a year!! Just gave them a call and picked a few cans up. For anyone interested, Randy at Gagnon only charged $15 a can for shipping.

BTW Only FIVE cans left: http://www.gagnonsports.com/index.php?product=FED-XM855LC1AC1 .

You can usually find stripper clips and just clip your own ammo up.
Put up a WTB add on the EE for 5.56mm stripper clips.
Get your inbox dug in well because there will be a full on barrage lol

I bought a bag of 100 Thermold stripper clips from UniqueTek online to go with the Striplula for my Mini. Unlike many suppliers in the U.S., they ship to Canada. I ordered over the phone.

Pricey? A bargain in Canada compared to the U.S. where it's currently $1 a round or more -- if you can find it.
