Best way to carry stripper clips?

[Socalman]

Just wondering what the best way to carry loaded stripper clips might be. Simple to load a magazine for an AK or AR, but if you are carrying strippers, how do you do it? I have thought of using a small pouch that might hold about 10 to 15 clips (200 - 300 rounds.)

I like to use Chinese sks bandolier. Cheap and work great

You can buy carboard sleeves for them, 3 clips to a sleeve which I believe is the military way. I've seen the sleeves for sale in the back of Shotgun News. You can also buy badeleros to carry them in with the sleeves.

25rd shotshell boxes hold 12 .223 stripper clips.

I buy milsurp pouches or bandoliers that were designed to hold the loaded stripper clips.

Cloth bandoliers for 5.56 / Mosin pouches for 7.62x54r / Chinese SKS bandoliers for 7.62x39 / British Enfield pouches for .303 and so on.

They're not hard to find but prices vary a lot -- always check prices elsewhere before buying. If you can't find a particular choice ask here; somebody will know where to find them.

yup bandoliers. i used to get ammo in bandoliers alot when 7.62x39 was like $100 for 1000 rnds

I store my 7.62 loaded on stripper clips in cardboard sleeves that can be dropped into bandoleers. Each ammo can with them stored like this has a speed loader dropped in too. If I was carrying them I would grab some of the cardboard sleeve loaded stripper clips in a bandolier.

Great ideas

ask the same guys that you get the strippers from for the 30rd brown boxes they come in and grab a couple of spoons.. the cloth bandolier is a nuisance but the tactical safety pin comes in handy..

there are also some Fed black box and red box that come on strippers that you can reuse the boxes just as easily..

I stripped up 500 rounds of bulk out of a case I split with a friend in about 25 minutes last week..

I like to conserve precious range time.. every little time saver counts

I had a whole thing written up saying the exact same thing. I use a 30-cal ammo can to keep my stripper clips. If its not on a stripper clip in the ammo can its in a mag. Those bandoliers are stupid and became obsolete after WW2. I own enough 30rd mags to fill every pouch and pocket on my person so there is no need to carry stripper clips.

I am too clumsy to work a stripper clip. I end up bending the hell out of it and all the rounds fall out.

I would just use a dump pouch.

Best option is just have enough magazines for all the ammo you could possible ever want to carry.

[VegasND]

That's too bad. I suggest you master the skill or never buy firearms that load conveniently with them. That would include SKS, bolt-action milsurps, some handguns too.
