Garand en bloc clips, need some input

[Light Infantry]

I'm trying to confirm the finish on Chinese newly manufactured en bloc clips.
As far as I know and have seen, they are only a high polish blueing that is basically black in colour and there are no parkerized ones.

Can anyone confirm.

No one?

ive seen some of these new unmarked ones with a really heavy finish that seems to actually be causing stoppages. if thats what youre talking about?

What is the texture, colour, level polish/glossiness.
I have only seen black/smooth/shiney ones.

Check out the scribner fire arms auction in alberta this weekend. They have 2round, 5 round and 8 round enblocks listed with pics . They all appear to be parkerized or a very dull grey/blue.

Well that sounds ideal. Low friction. I shoot some G96 on mine to make them extra slippery.

It comes in handy! About 6 years ago I bought a bag of brass and dies for a 6.5 Japanese from the Calgary gun show. Well, if that didn't come in handy when I bought a Type 30 last summer. It's the 2nd or 3rd time I've owned reloading dies then gone and found a gun to fit the dies lol

Well, i have couple sets of dies in calibers that i dont have guns but i may have in future. Im buying when i see them in store not when i need them.

I am sitting on around 400rds of .303 Brit, just waiting for the right rifle to go with it (thinking a Martini Enfield or Ross). Never a bad time to buy ammo or components as long as the price is right.

Every en bloc I've seen is a gritty gray Parkerized finish. Polished steel has to be new- build.
