Mosin-Nagant stripper clips, again.

[Cosmoline]

Heck I've been spending $5 on the good ones.

 

[klover]

If I could get a real good one for a model, I could send it back to you.

I'd send a deposit for one that feeds real well. Could someone pm me?

I can make a blanking die and forming die if the market can bear it. Thanks.

I have an M38 to test it on (I love my Babooshka Boomer).

 

[jobu07]

So how goes the experimenting Kace?

Otherwise, i'd gladly spend $1/per for good mosin stripper clips.

 

[armoredman]

Now the free market is at work! YEA!!! I could be counted on for several at $1 each!!!

 

[Davo]

ill take 10!!!! keep us posted.

 

[Cacique500]

Yep, put me down for a bunch!

 

[Sactown]

It's true, if you build it, they will come.

 

[Silent-Snail]

It would be nice to have some that I don't have to bend out of shape to get propper feeding :banghead: . I'd pay more than a buck if they work.

 

[foghornl]

I'm in for a small sackfull of them.

The Tapco's work fair-to-middlin' for me in my M-44, but some of them are kinda stiff getting the rounds into the magazine.

 

[klover]

I need samples of your best clips if possible...

or if your could meassure 'em very accurately or scribe the profiles with a sharp scribe. I'd send you a $10 deposit for each that works flawlessly, and I'll send it back once I meassure them. Or emai pics with a machinist's rule against each view and of course mic the thickness of the material and radius gage the bends.

I can load 'em here and guess the spring back in designing the stamping and forming tools. Please help me get this going for I smell an opportunity for win-win for everyone!

Long live Babooska Boomers Thanks everyone.

 

[Koobuh]

Me too!

Count me in for several at least if you can get it to work. - I'm in for $30 worth regardless of per-unit cost.
I bought twenty of the 'postwar' clips, and while they hold rounds firmly they won't strip rounds into the magazine without bending out of shape.
Try to match the gauge of the metal when you make them.
The first set I got, years ago (subsequently sold with the rifle- worst choice I ever made) worked flawlessly, and were much stiffer than the ones I got recently.

 

[mountaindrew]

Id be in for a few at $1 a pop.

I believer there is a decent market just here at Thr.

Imagine how many you could sell if you aproached some larger vendors?

 

[Drue]

Sign me up! I've got six to feed.

Drue

 

[klover]

One kind THRer has promised to send a good sample

others would be most welcome if they work really well. Please PM me.

I figure roughly a $3000 investment for the first 1000 parts. This is doing it on the way cheap and not counting my time. Break even might happen 5000 parts latter if I sell them for $1.00 each. Haven't looked into other than a lacquer finish for the clips.

I'd bet I could sell 10,000 in a couple of years.

Love them SHORT BABOOSHKA CARBINES!

 

[Erik Jensen]

I, too would be interested in a big 'ol bag of properly functioning stripper clips!

 

[hillbilly]

I just got back in the Mosin Nagant game with a Finnish M39.

I'd be interested in some good stripper clips for it.

[1911Ron]

Put me down for some as i have two to feed. I had my wife look the one with the sharp angles(She is a sheetmetal journeymen) and said she didn't know how to do it with the equipment at work(to big) so it would have to be able to go small as it were.

 

[No_Brakes23]

I would take $20 worth. If they are good and work in Finish M39.

 

[Fenrik]

If you guys are going to make MN stripper clips, may I suggest you copy the finn design. I have some original russian and finn clips. The finn are easier to load, hold the rounds better and easier to load into the rifle.

I'd post a pic but I'm about 500 miles from them at the moment.

 

[The_Antibubba]

Having compared the Finn Mosin to the Russian, I'd wager the stripper clips are comparable. And I'll buy a bunch, too, once the field reports are in.

As fore sales, a small ad in Shotgun News would probably get a good response.

 

[klover]

Thanks for the model clips, I've sent them back.

The clips are measured, and a proto type tool is in mind.
Production is about a month or two away at most.

There is a guy on ebay who is selling new (I think) brass stripper clips. They work but they require proper technique to work reliably. Unfortunately, I only get the technique right about 12% of the time. One thing that will help will be when I finally get the cartridge interruptors fixed on my Mosins.

BTW - I would probably be interested in some of these strippers that you guys are talking about as well.

 

[tronester]

Are there any updates on these stripper clips? I'd like to buy at least 10 of them. Thanks.

 

[Andrew Wyatt]

dad's got an m-44 and would totally love some good clips.

lemmie know how i can help.

 

[Third_Rail]

If/when stripper clips are available, I'll buy enough to load 1000 rounds into clips, whether the clips are $3/each or $1/each.
