Stripper Clips for M1903 Springfield and M1917 Remington rifle

[Glockster30]

For you milsurp guys, I'm looking for additional .30-06 stripper clips for the above 2 rifles, I only found a couple of sources online. One had them for $1.40 each and other sites had them for more money (up to as much as $7 each, IIRC). The former is new old stock.

The first price seems good, but are there any LGSs in northeast MA or southern NH that might stock them or is it a hit and miss type thing? Also, are they getting harder to find?

Do you want the brass ones or steel?

I have seen them at 619dw, no guarantee they have em now.

M96 mauser clips used to be had cheap, They work well.
Also these
Match Rifle Stripper Clips (.308)

The problem with the originals is the small tab that holds the cartridges in will break in short order.

Doesn't matter; both if I can find them. The clips that I found online were steel.

Reviews say they work well in the 1903. $20 for 20 with $3 shipping.

That's why I need to buy some more. Should I also assume the M96 will also fit my 1951 Belgium FN Mauser?

The swedish clips referenced above work great. I use them on a 1903 and 1917.

USGI clips were designed to be used once.

Thanks.

Beat me to it. Swedish Mauser stripper clips work just fine.

I’ve bought a bunch at Glenn’s in North Reading. You might give him a call and ask.

Any Mauser clips should work just fine. The base diameter and rim dimensions of -06 and x57 are close enough that they are usually completely interchangeable. As others have said, the USGI clips are disposable junk.

I will say they should. If the case rim slides through and the tabs on the sides are in the general area where they need to be it should work.

Lol. I gave away like a hundred of these 5 years ago. Brand new and bought from Sarco... Those of you who got some should remember.

I picked up 2 boxes from SamcoGlobal for $13 each ahead of grabbing a Swede Mauser from them. Not long after I ordered a Swede sniper only to be cancelled and was told they where going out of business.
Sarco took them out of the boxes and now charges $1.35ea

Thanks, Pat, but I already bought "new old stock" Swedish Mauser clips off GunBroker.
