I've got a Norinco SKS that for the last 10 years I've been feeding manually. About 3 months ago I *finally* got a package of stripper clips. Do strippers have to be broke in or something? And yes my SKS has the stripper verticle guide rail on the charging handle.
Right now I can reload 10 shots into the magazine faster then I can get the stripper clip to feed. Each round gets to the bottom of the stipper and I gotta jiggle it or press HARD to get it to feed into the magazine. I still use the stripper clips though because it's nice having the rounds all lined up together and makes it easy to grab 10 then it is to have them all loose in a pouch.
I don't *think* I'm doing anything wrong but it really seems like more work then it's worth. Any suggestions?
