What kind of stripper clips are to be used with 308 Israeli Mausers?
I have one ,tried 8x57(3 diffrent makes),308 Nato,30/06 clips and nothing seems to work.
Stripper clip guides look like they have been worked on,but rifle itself is VZ24 Brno post war made with 1956 Israeli made barrel in 308 Win.
I should make and post some pictures...

Spacer Block.
Here are the spacer block pics. It is 5mm thick and runs full width of mag well and down to the floor plate. Rounded at the top with edge taken off on follower side. Soldered in place. Follower is standard 98k part.
I included some detail pics of the forend as a guide in case you decide to restore it down the road.
Stripper clips.
I have some Israeli made stripper clips and they are the exact same as German 98k ones. Both will work, try them again
M14/Nato clips will not fit.

Find quite a few with black paint over the parking as well. I have one with a parked barrel, blued receiver and black painted bands/butt plate, all with exposed areas painted black.

Range trip 2!
New front sight... 0.450" high... right on at 100 yards now!
Todays ammo... bought a box of win just to try.
Todays home made targets! Need something better to aim at (as per Ganderites suggestion)
My kids group at 100 with the Gold Cross ammo... not sure where the 5th one is lol.
My group at 100 with the Win ammo... 1 flyer?
Still sourcing parts, this one is a keeper. Soon I'll be back with handloads.

Well that was fast, now all you need is some old drill bits (forget what sizes) to make the crossbolt out of for the front band and one for the bayo lug.
The hardest part to find is that short band spring and luckily it came with your rifle. Let us know how you make out.

Well looked at the parkerized finish, will be as much or more than I payed for the whole rifle to go with that finish.
So it will stay in the white/brown/blue finish it has!
Just need a top handgaurd and rear sight screw if anyone has one let me know!!!!
