    Are these Mosin stripper clips?

    Picked these up at a garage sale for .25 cents....Was told by a buddy that they're for a 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant rifle....Is this true? any Value?

    Thanks

    Yes, they're MN strippers. $.25 for the whole package is a good deal. I wouldn't pay more than $.50 each in Canadaicon for them.

    These are new made reproduction chargers made in the USAicon. Alot of these are horrible and have to be re-shaped in order to be used, this is probably why you paid so little for them, they did not work right.

    I have a bunch of Bulgarian(?) surplus 54R that came on strippers that don't work in any of my MN's. They're just too thick.

    Ahemmmm. Those be recent Chinese reproductions

    They don't work very well initially. They may not even work well with Anhydrous Lanolin lubrication and repeated use. Emphasis on Anhydrous Lanolin as the lubricant.

    I have tried honest Finnishicon clips, dishonest Chinese repros of the Finnish clips, Bulgarian clips, Brass Chinese clips that came with Chinese surplus made in the 1950's, and the Chinese clips pictured. The worst were the Chinese clips pictured.

    The Stripper clips were made for TAPCO, the box has a similar parts/stock number to the 50 piece boxes of 7.62x51 mm stripper clips they also had made in China.
