Hey there, folks. I recently purchased a No 1 MK3 made at Ishapore in 1952. The rifle is in very good condition, no problems whatsoever. Where I am finding myself having difficulty is with the charging clips. They're either too tight and impossible to move the rounds into the magazine, or they are too loose and won't line up long enough to properly load the rounds into the magazine.

Most recently I tried the ones sold here -- 5 NEW 5 RD 303 Caliber LEE ENFIELD STRIPPER CLIPS SMLE No. 1/3/4/5 Mk. 1/111 - Hunting -- but I've tried from other sellers as well at other locations.

Is there something I can be doing to make these charger clips just a bit more functional and easy to use? I'm loading them down, up, down, up, down as intended so I'm led to believe I'm just purchasing poor quality chargers.

Any thoughts or help is appreciated.
