Post a WTB in the EE and you will probably get a few bites.

Gun shows. There is no place for retailer to order that kind of stuff from and not enough demand to bother importing 'em.

Book I got, claims a lot of "new manufacture' ones are too thick and will cause malfunction. Lots of good oldies out there.

This is very true - I've experienced it first hand. As you said, some of them are too thick which causes a failure to eject the empty clip. In one instance I needed to remove the clip with a pair of needle nose pliers...

I bought some "new manufacture" ones from Numrich a couple of years back, I basically threw all 36 into the garbage they were that bad.

Hahaha! Sunray finally got banned? Wonder what he did? I mean most if his posts were useless or just flat out wrong but he was pretty harmless.

I had read that the reason these enblocs were so bad was that the enamel on them was far too thick. The article writer said that what he did was tumble them in a brass tumbler for a couple hours and they worked just fine then. If you have that problem maybe give this a shot?

Enamel? There's the problem! The original specification/drawing calls for parkerized finish. I have copies of both the specification and drawing so I should know. I also have two (2) drums of 1200 (actually only 1150) clips each that oddly enough were produced in Canada (IVI)(Valcartier Industries, Inc., Valcartier, Quebec, Canada). It is amazing what can be found in the dark corners of unit supply rooms. Unfortunately, I believe the clips are an ITAR items. If they were not I would gladly exchange clips for Canadian dollars and ship them north of the 49th. Oh, by the way the specification and drawing are also ITAR items, so don't ask for copies.
