Well, that was funny.

5 rounds of 7.62 fit nicely - a little loose - but acceptably, on Mauser clips. They fed very nicely into my 2A1.

Hey!!! Where'd the clip go???

Funny part is, the rounds didn't strip from the clip ... it went right in with the 5 rounds!!

Mauser clips are a little 'daintier' than the 7.62 clips. They don't rest on the magazine edge and stay outside the gun.
