Holy crap stripper clips

Yeh, the LGS here is selling Russian strippers for $5 each !! And I saw NCStar going for $20 for 10, and those need 'remediation' to work right. Some people on 'some forums' are cutting their's in half for the 5-round limit. I'm optimistic that someday . . . so I just wrap 1/2 with Electric tape ;-P Lucky that I got about 25 with the last SKS I bought. And I had bought Czech ammo on strippers back when,so had many left.
And people thought I was crazy picking up every stripper clip I could find. As with everything supply eventually does run out. I have more than I will ever need

Had an SKS as one of my first guns and had kept most if not all of the stripper clips i've come across over the years. I do have about five of them that i split for 5 round chargers, but got probably a hundred more intact neatly packed away. Funny how such a cheap strip of metal can accumulate a lot of value over the years. Kept the most of them intact in the fruitless hopes that we'll be allowed 10 rounds in an SKS someday.
Most of them I was given, picked up or got with cans of ammo.

The stripper clips on my crates of Czech ammo are worth more now then the crate was with 1200 rounds of ammo. 120 stripper clips per crate and I paid 225 bucks for the 1200 rounds per crate.

Easy buck fifty to two bucks a piece for them might be worth rounded them up, way more then scrap metal price.
Nobody should have to pay what many are asking on the EE for these. They came free, more or less, with ammo, now many are trying to gouge for them. I have given many away in the past for the price of shipping and will continue to do so as I get more. Share the clips people!

When I got my PAL back beginning of 2020 I bought an SKS off a friend with 700 rounds of Czech surplus in a crate for $250. Looking back now, what a steal for a gun in stellar condition.
Anyway, all the ammo came individually packed on stripper clips. I never gave it a thought to throw them out and I'm glad I didn't. I've been reloading the empty stripper clips with Chinese surplus as I've used the Czech stuff.

well I still have an unopened crate of ammo on strippers along with a pile of strippers sitting around in my salvage bin.
for $2/ea I may have to look at selling some.
Oh and x54 clips I have a bunch of those too, mostly the simple metal ones but I have 3 older brass ones that I am hanging on to.

Kudos on your generousity but remember that at one time Enfields sold for $20 and now they are $800. Garands were $100 and now they are $2500. Everything gets hit by by inflation.
