5 round stripper clip 7.62x39

[marshall_law]

i went on the grinder and made a 5 rounder. I think ill spend 15mins and do a batch of 20-30.

Cool I was going to do the same thing Great idea

Awesome job, can you get two 5 round clips out of one 10 or just one?

 

[marshall_law]

might be able to get two, not sure.

 

[scruffee]

pretty cool... but don't get mixed up and try to put it upside down lol

You don't need to bend the end up. Just cut the clip in half and peen the rim slot closed on the cut end.

You can get two 5 round clips doing it that way.

 

[marshall_law]

ah yes.

Reminds me I need to make up a bunch of those.
That looks like pretty good work, btw.

I was figuring, also, that I would spray paint one end of each red or orange to prevent loading mishaps.

I might do that this weekend. Something to do.

 

[pklassen]

Im definitely going to give that a try. Thanks for the idea

 

[62bravorecon]

I just load mine to five, it's not like I (and most other people) don't have several pounds of empty 10rd clips to do that with ....

There is money to be made, here. New-production 5 rounder's, anyone?

 

[Beater]

ive made a few, cut them in half with the thin lil dremel cut off tool, and then peen the ends shut. they will still hold 5 that way

 

[NormanM]

That's cool, you should put some up for sale on here. I'd say lots of people would buy

but putting 5 rounds in a 10 clipper adds bulk


shame i just tossed my bag of strippers away, o well, just another excuse to burn more ammo

 

[blueflash]

I just tried doing it also and it was easier and I am able to get 2-5 round strippers when you cut it exactly in half and crimp the cut end. It took me about 10 minutes to make 12-5 round strippers. Whenever I use the 10 round stripper and try to put in just 5 rounds I always seem to drop one on the ground or, I never get all 5 in. This way is fool proof.

Agreed.

I went to Lever arms in Vancouver and bought m-14 5 round striper clips they work perfect with 7.62x39 and feed to my sks

I think this is a good idea, although since the ammo comes pre loaded on strippers, I will just continue to place the 10 rounder in the rifle, and just load the lower five rounds. It is almost second nature after a few loads and you don't even have to count anymore. But when the surplus dries up (it will) and the only ammo available is loose, I can see myself cutting my strippers into five rounders.
