Best Enbloc Clips

I'd like to buy some enbloc clips, but would like to get some advice on the clips available today for my Garand.

Thanks.

I dont know what the best is but sarco has the best price I've seen and ammogarand has the most makes going back to ww2

Don't know anything about the current aftermarket clips but you'll probably have a whole lot less trouble if you stick with military issue. If your interested I might be able to help you out with a dozen or so. I bought a case of Danish ammo 10 or 12 years ago that was in clips so let me see how many I still have. It will be tomorrow cause I gotta remember where I put them.:confused:

I have about 2/3 of a large ammo box of USGI clips of all kinds Paul, and they all seem to work about the same as far as that goes. I looked through mine and many were SA. I think of them more as consumables - if one is bent or rusted, or seems to have a problem I just get rid of it. Haven't you just checked on GB or anywhere to see if there's any deals there? Sometimes you can contact people who have them for sale and they have boxes of them and get good prices in bulk. Just don't get any with rust or anything. I've done the same at gun shows - they're usually pretty cheap, anyway, and if you tell them you want a bunch they'll often cut you a deal.

OK, thanks Harlan. Will go that route.

Cheaper Than Dirt ('CTD') sells Garand Enbloc clips that are made by Aggressive Engineering ('AEC') on the west coast.

There's nothing in the CTD advertising that says who makes the clips but that's what I found when I bought some and examined them.

'AEC' is one of the manufacturers listed on the Enbloc clip spec.

Best I have tried are the nickel plated ones from this guy Buy and Sell Items at GunBroker.com


They run smooth as silk and are easy to find when hunting.

Worst are some of the ones that come with Greek HXP.

I have bought 2 cases of en bloc clips from Numrich and have been very happy.
ALL were USGI.
175 pc's for $75.00 (.43 cents each)

Happy Shooting,

Clips, 8 Shot, Box of 175, Used

I don't think I have ever used anything but USGI clips, never had a problem with any of them. Some have probably been reloaded and used 100's of times. With both live ammo, and blanks at reenactments. When they get rusty, I scuff them up with steel wool and repaint them a dark od, and keep on using them. All mine are marked IS, SA, or BRW.

Me too.
Short of stepping on them they last a good, long time.
Just because they are rusty isn't a good reason to throw them away. It's usually just surface rust anyway.

I recently purchased a box of 175 "used" Garand clips from Nimrich Gun Parts. They were definitely old and very cruddy looking with dirt and surface rust. Oh yeah, they cost $75.00.
I wondered what to do to clean them up. I have a cement mixer. I threw about twenty pounds of wonderful New Mexico blow sand into it and added the clips to the mix. Every few hours I would stop the mixer, sort through the clips, remove the clean ones, and turn the mixer on again to tumble the remaining clips. After about ten total hours of tumbling all of the clips were rust free and clean. The parkerizing was diminished considerably, but a good (light)wipe-down of each clip with Breakfree CLP made the finish nice. The clips had many different maker markings. I loaded those clips with good ammunition and experienced no difficulty in the operation of the Garand with the many "new to me" clips inserted into the rifle. They sent 177 clips of which only two were unusable, one cracked and the other apparently stomped on.
All in all a pretty good bargain if you can clean them up. Garandiose :thup:

Here are the Borg Warner from 1967:

Here are the Dominan Arsenal from 1967. One caution. Most of the DAQ marked are now being made in China.
