SKS stripper clips Y or N

Stripper clips work great. I only have one... Need to get a crate of Czech and get some more.

I fired sks without a stripper clip and tore up my thumbnail loading them in. feedlips on Norinco sks are so sharp.
 
The ones I have seen that have been cut down, have had a dent punched near the cut end to keep the rounds from falling out, but now you still have to pay attention to which end you are loading in. And it makes the SKS Chest rigs not fun to use as the pockets are deep.

With the SKS's I have borrowed I just load till I can't, and slide the half loaded stripper clip in a dump pouch or back in the chest rig. :)
 
Stripper clips are very fast.
I am impressed at how fast you can reload.
Easily as fast as a clip, once you get the hang of it.
I vote a big thumbs up for them.
 
The 7.62x39 clips are the best clips I've ever used. For some reason they just work the easiest and smoothest compared to other calibres. Now if only they could make it so that we could actually use a whole clip at once...

This seems to be the overwhelming sentiment, and not just pertaining to SKS's, people ##### about mag caps for everything (M305's, CZ's, AR's, etc, etc). I'm wondering what the logic (I use that word loosely, of course) is behind magazine capacity for semi-auto centrefires? I mean yeah, we all wanna prevent the psychos out there from going on 30-round rampages with semi-automatic weapons, but that kinda stuff seems to happen anyway regardless of legal magazine capacity limits. If someone really really wants to go on a shooting spree, a little rivet/pin isn't gonna stop 'em. So why regulate it at all then? I realize it's not the kind of thing that can be easily changed, I mean no local MP who values his political career is gonna lobby the Feds to de-regulate magazine capacity limits, but it just bugs me when laws and regs don't make sense, and in fact seem tailor-made to do nothing but opress and control the taxpayer & law-abiding citizen :mad:

The other thing that bugs me is that semi-auto rimfires have no mag capacity limits, which implies that they're less dangerous and less likely to be used in a violent act/crime. I'm not an alarmist, but if you ask me this just makes a rimfire a logical choice for someone who's lookin' to go on a shooting spree, y'know? Stock up on a few 50-rounders for your 10/22, stockpile a brick or two of ammo, and BAM you're all set for a day of sniping from rooftops! How is a rimfire any less dangerous than a centrefire in this case?

We're all law-abiding and safety-conscious people here, so why do we need to be regulated to death? I'm not condoning 30-round mags, I mean I honestly don't need one, it'd just be cool. The US can do it, why can't we? It just doesn't make any sense, even though we're separate countries, to have such blatant (and kinda insulting) double standards. It's like the government doesn't trust us canadians with our own safety, but hey, those americans are far more capable and more mature and can handle having 30-round mags for their SKS's. It just doesn't make any sense....

Sorry for the rant :redface: I'll shut up now...

It's all cosmetics and lights and mirrors. There's no real solid reason for the magazine limits, it's just something so the antis can pat themselves on the back and think that they're making a difference.

If Canadian government could only regulate Americans, we would have already faced another North to South civil war. Sorry, I meant South to North.
 
I find loading rounds into my SKS without stripper clips to be a pain in the ass. If you don't make sure you push them far enough back in the magazine, you'll get a fail to feed when the bullet tip gets jammed against the face of the chamber.

My clips are cut in half, with the open end peened so they don't fall out. Works great, except you have to worry about which end to push in. With whole clips you don't.

Everybody #####es about magazine capacities because they're retarded and make no sense. I don't feel the urge to run out and buy aftermarket banana magazines, I just want what the gun was designed for in the first place. I hate magazines that aren't full. :p
 
Some guys I know add a little orange paint to the top of the cut down stripper clips so they can tell at a glance what end goes up. :)
 
I use the Czech ammo and it comes on stripper clips, usually I shove in 5 at a time, then use the next 5 in the next load. I don't bother cutting them. I don't know why, but I keep all my stripper clips. Maybe for the day I find the magical load of norinco silverbox so I can load them onto the clips :D
 
I recently bought 20 boxes of Norinco Silver box off a local guy, and yes they fit on the Czech stripper clips quite nicely. Funny thing is the cases are copper coloured not steel. This should drive our grumpy Range officer crazy as he sorts through the brass bucket at the range. :D

Toes go in first. What's the big theory behind cutting the stripper clips in halves?
