Palmetto has them for $449.99.How much are these "new / newer" finds going for ?
For me; owning and shooting these MilSurp firearms was never about "the cheapest import ammo" it was always about the gun... always the gun.Now that com block surplus ammo is as expensive as commercial ammo, I don't really see the point of these. But that's just me.
i see, i guess $350 would indeed be too good to be true now. a $500 - nah, it is not worth $500.Removed a link (premiumgunstore.com) and photos after a review of questionable sales practices
Yeah, I never heard of Premiumgunshop,com, but they were showing "In Stock" and low priced (for the times) but a few reviews of the vendor showed HIGH SCAM probability.i see, i guess $350 would indeed be too good to be true now. a $500 - nah, it is not worth $500.
plus damn thing rusts like crazy, and keep it in cosmoline to clean before shooting and put in on again after each shoot - is way too much hassle.
Absolutely! The M1 Rifle is superior to the SKS and it should be your first choice of the two!If you've always wanted a Garand, then get one from the CMP and start reloading

Nice, just snagged a couple packs.TOP QUALITY SKS STRIPPER CLIPS!
I have found N.O.S. Czech BXN SKS/AK stripper clips at Numrich Gun Parts. As many of you know the BXN and Circle-31 stripper clips are among the best and most dependable out there.
These rarely come up for sale and when they do they are $3 bucks each for a well used one. (at least in the current market)
I got mine for $.97 cents each (that price includes tax and shipping) in packs of 20. They are brand new N.O.S. and are very lightly covered in the factory waxy grease.
These won't last long!

FOR FREESTATERS:
Mil. Surplus Yugo M67 7.62x39 ammo (has CORRO primers) at Atlantic Firearms. IN STOCK.
This is nice ammo, when you can get it, but requires detailed cleanup after range trip. (not a big deal)

Oddly enough I found some yugo crates in NH antique store, $38 each I took a pass.Stuff does
Stuff shoots well , at this point I just want the wood crate
Ordered two packs of these after seeing your post. Just got delivered, interestingly one bundle is bxn and the other is (31). Hopefully the black 31 work alright, ive had better luck with the grey military ones. In my particular sks that is, ymmv.TOP QUALITY SKS STRIPPER CLIPS!

I've had very good luck with the circle 31's . If you don't like them, let me know. I'll swap out for BXN if you like.Ordered two packs of these after seeing your post.

Looking forward to trying them out, glad to have more finally. Only had a half dozen which doesn't last very long at the range.
Good news, these fit great! They are blued not black like I orginally said, my fault. These are real deal, much higher quality then the knock off black ncstar ones I've received from places in the past. I knew the grey with a stripe fit fine so I've just looked for those and disregarded any others. Bxn fit perfectly as well. Stoaked to finally have a bunch now, Thanks for sharing this!I've had very good luck with the circle 31's . If you don't like them, let me know. I'll swap out for BXN if you like.
What country of manufacture is your SKS?

Lol, as long as they're not NcStar stripper clips...

The (31) circle-31 are very good strippers too.
Thats what I read as well. I have i think 7 of them and thats all I had that worked. Glad to be able to a whole trips worth preloaded now instead of having to do it at the range a few times. Been paranoid about forgetting one there too lolYeah the gray with black stripes are military issued as loaded strippers. They are a great clip for any SKS. As far as I know all BXN are also military contract. The (31) circle-31 are very good strippers too. !957 ChiCom is very early on and a nice sample to own. Literally the second year of the Type-56.
Most likely a /26\ (Arsenal 26)
Can you make out your stamp?
