Sourcing SKS stripper clips in bulk
« on: February 05, 2015, 02:36:18 PM »
I've been trying to source SKS stripper clips in bulk. The better European ones (like old sarge had) have dried up. That pretty much leaves the AIM/NCStar stripper clips (oily/marked with Circle 31) which most people here are familiar with and have spotty quality.

I've found another supplier who imports directly from China. Does anyone have experience with stripper clips having the word "China" stamped on the back? The 2-3 I've tested seem ok but I'm leary of buying them by the 1,000 especially since they are 2x the cost of the other brands.

Bottom line is that I'm looking for a reliable source of quality SKS stripper clip. Your experience with these would be most appreciated.

I was able to get 80 of the bxn ones in 2 lots of 40 for a buck a piece they were from a guy in the US.  There is guy selling them in 100 lots on ebay from the CZECH REPUBLIC but they look newer than the ones I got.  The other option is to buy the Czech surplus ammo and the come on them. I will say this the completely blow away the circle 31's I bought when I first got my Chinese SKS. I've never come across 1000 lots though I was never looking for them.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I think I'll bring in a smaller amount for testing/quality control. I'll send you each 10 if you PM me your address.
