I have have had them for years and thought they would fit my Mosin but they don't. They have IV stamped on some of them and the number 3.

Are they for Lee Enfields 303?

Thanks.

yes indeed, lee enfield British MK IV chargers/stripper clips for the No.4/No.5 series enfield, the one with the slots on the back i believe is a stripper clip for a No.1 Mk.3 lee enfield.
 
Chargers Marks II, III nd IV for the .303 round. All three were issued during the First World War, but the Mark II (the one with the slots) was discontinued during that war because of difficulty of manufacture. The III and IV were quicker and easier to make. Tose two stayed in production until the end of the .303 era.

It appears as if yours are BLUED, which indicates faily early manufacture. They started using Parkerising during the Second War, even paint on some and the final oneshad some kind of aful sparkly finish that did NOT like to let your cartridges fed properly.

If you are looking for Moisin-Nagant chargers, Trade-Ex has them.

If you don't have a .303, these should go to comeone who has one.

They will be marked with something to indicate the manufacturer, too. Usually this is something like B in a circle for BSA, DA for Dominion Arsenal (Canadian) E for Eley Brothers and so forth.

Guys who are looking for them will generally kick a buck apiece. Take care of them and they last forever.

Neat!
 
I will have to move it over to EE but I might be interested in a trade for Mosin strippers clips. I bought some of the newly made ones from TradeX and I wasn't impressed with them. They seem cheap and you feel like your going to cut your hands.

Thanks for the feedback lads.
 
I have a question for everyone I Have a 303 British rifle no1 MK3 And I am looking for box clips 5 rounds for it any idea where I can get 1
 
Seems Muskyhunter might have the chargers you're looking for...or post a WTB on the milsurp parts board. {psssst,"box clips" will confuse folks...I think you mean "chargers"}

Hang on, do you mean 5 round magazines for a sportered hunting rifle?....Totally different ask, I've never seen one separated from its rifle. If you did, there's no guarantee it would seat or feed without some fiddling around with.
 
because that is what i was told to get by my step dad we dont need a 10 round magazine i was instructed to get a 5 round mag or 2 5 round mag
 
DeathRay; I'm afraid you're asking for hens teeth. The cut magazines are out there but I'm sure but by the time you find one you could make your own from aftermarket 10 rounders. Check Marstar at the top of the screen, John normally stocks them. Zip wheel and a brass brazing rod, some black paint and you're off to the races.
