WWI stripper clip and more!

[Flying10uk]

I draw the line my stripper clips are functional

I have to agree with Cinders on this one; it hadn't crossed my mind that anyone would collect stripper clips, either.

[Roger Payne]

Oh yes, people do. The late Bert Woodend had just such a fascination.....

[mike16]

sort of like oilers becoming collectable. such that they are being reproduced

Have one MkI charger and it is not used.

[Baal]

Not a collector, but I do have roughly 20 of the MkII chargers. I just prefer them over the Mk IVs I have.

I draw the line my stripper clips are functional the WWI's come out when I shoot my 1916 just for posterity,

But likewise, I had them all. They worked the same as all my different M1 clips. A working collection.

Glad to see some of you blokes calling them magazine chargers! :-)

On another forum, one chap froths at the mouth if the term "Stripper clips" is used. LOL!

"Stripper clip" is an unfortunate bit of Yankee ingenuity resulting from a long US tradition of calling everything "clip" rather than making a functional distinction between clips that are loaded into the magazine (necessary for operation) and chargers used only to facilitate rapid loading. To alleviate confusion, these linguistically-deprived folks have added "stripper" to create a two-word compound - which somehow makes more sense to them than simply using "charger". Baffling!

"Stripper clip", "clip", chargers

I have learned over the years to speak in whatever dialect the people seem to understand.
