Mosin stripper clip question/problem

[Neo46121]

Didn't know where else to post this.

I recently purchased a 20 pack of stripper clips from tickbitesupply.com and I can't seem to get them to work correctly. Do you guys think they just need broken in or did I get a bad batch? They just won't release the rounds. I've tried gun oil to lubricate the insides of the clips but that hasn't worked

can you bend them out a little to give the rounds some space to move around?

I've had the same issue with some, not so much with others. Just depends on how thick of a gauge the metal clip is made of.

I've bought some and had varying degrees of success. I would imagine you could "tweak" them a little to work.

The best luck I have had is with some brass ones I picked up off of ebay.

Yeah, you'll notice a small slit in the top of the gun for the stripper clip to be place in. Like RogerB said, you may need to bend them for the bullets to have enough space to easily be pushed through. And like thej27 said, if the bending doesn't work, you may want to give some brass ones a shot.

I bought some from uglycarfan on Ebay and they work just fine. Just put them in the groove and use the top round to shove the rest in there.
