FR-8 stripper clips

[Cocked&Locked]

Does anyone know (or better yet have) if the spanish ever made stripper clips to fit in the stripper notches on the FR-8 rifle? I know old canadian issue FN strippers won't fit . If i can find strippers, i have my new 3 gun carbine for this season

Guess what my next question will be

Does anyone know where i can get a dozen swede strippers then? Clips, not girls, i can't afford a room full of swede strippers if my wife comes home.....

NM, i see marsstar has them. I'll just check cartridge head dimensions and see if the 6.5, 7 or 8mm is closest to 308

Check Marstar or put a wanted ad on the EE.

.30-06 rounds will apparently fit in the 6.5mm Swede stripper clips , and the 6.5mm Swede stripper clips are on the E&E often enough....

I always use 8mm mauser stripper clips as did the Spaniards. They look almost identical to our old 7.62 nato clips but have a different number of raised bumps on sides.

Those 8mm and 6.5mm stripper clips are very versatile.......and sometimes interchangeable........if only by mistake !
