What is it?

[Norton1]

I am unable to put the pics on here due to not having a transfer cable for my phone. But an old gunsmith friend of mine passed away a year or so ago and another close friend has purchased all his parts. Amongst his Enfield items we found a unit that is made of aluminum on the top and fiber of some type for the main body. It looks like something that would fit inside of an ammo pouch and hold 5 rounds. The center of the bottom fiber portion is cutout and appears to have had the function of allowing the stripper clip, and ammo, to be inserted into the guide on the rifle and then pushing the ammo into the magazine with the thumb. It would also retain the stripper clip in the unit.

The aluminum top portion has small ears bent inboard that I think would hold the ammo into the unit and prevent spilling the rounds onto the ground.

Poor description at best but we were curious about what it is.

As always - Thanks

Be well
Steve

Sounds like a Swiss K31 stripper clip. These were made of a phenolic fibre material.

There are also a couple of other European ammunition clips made of a similar material.

Thanks! I'll pass that on to my buddy - -

Here's a pic of a loaded (six rounds) Swiss Charger and a round of 7.5mm GP11.

It doesn't look like the one in the photo- the phenolic material (or whatever it is) is brown and the aluminum is silver. Kind of cheap looking really.

The real thing that I took the photo of is also "Kind of cheap looking". (They were disposable.) The one in the photo is also brown and silver.

Do you have a photo that you can post?

Now that I look closer you are correct - like I said earlier - as soon as I get my data cord for this phone I'll post a pic. I think what threw me on yours is the one I saw had an eliptical cutout on one side, probably the side I can't see in yours. Been struggling with a nasty ear ache for a week or so now and it inhibits my vision also - - Sorry Mate -
