FN 49 chargers

[Happy_Garand]

Hi all. I wasn't sure where to post this as there doesn't seem to be a FN 49 forum and I wasn't sure if it would fit in the FAL forum. I have a Venezuelan rifle in 7mm Mauser and I want to know if anybody knows where I might be able to find some chargers/clips for it so I'm not single loading it all the time.

Have you tried M14/FN C1 type clips? I had one in .30 Cal years ago and am sure I used them. I didn't have any Springfield chargers so it must have been FN C1 clips then. I just sold 81 of them too...

I suspect the .30-06 ones likely used standard 3 bump Mauser stripper clips as I suspect that was what the Belgians were using for their Mausers.

I can't remember what type my Venezuelan one used when I had it, either the 2 bump or 3 bump standard Mauser stripper clips. Likely whatever pattern of Stripper Clip they were using for the 7mm Mausers they would issue.
