dajonga 396 Posted March 17, 2015 I bought a 1952 Tula SKS last month. I just received a bunch of Chinese SKS stripper clips from eBay. They do not fit into the bolt carrier unless I really force and wiggle them in, sometimes taking 30 seconds or so, thus defeating the purpose of the rapid reloading with stripper clips. Do Russian SKS stripper clip inlets on the bolt carrier differ from other SKS bolt carriers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted March 17, 2015 I'm in need of stripper clips myself and am wondering the same thing. Any difference for a chinese sks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted March 17, 2015 I've found that some stripper clips work well and some don't. Also - some work in 1 direction and some work in both. All of mine have an arrow that indicates which side works better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 396 Posted March 17, 2015 Ah, I will check for an arrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogfarmer 138 Posted March 17, 2015 ncstar chinese strippers need to be modified, need to bend the tabs with needle nose pliers in order to work new manufactured ones suck they are hit or miss look for yugo or russian parkarized ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 396 Posted March 18, 2015 Ok. No arrows. I spent about 30 minutes filing and bending 2 clips to get them to work. No luck. Not worth it to continue with this, as the SKS is a fun range toy. Going to marketplace..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted March 19, 2015 If we meet up at all, toss me a reminder - I'll let you try a couple of the ones I have. Can't remember where I got 'em but they work great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albanian 121 Posted April 11, 2015 I got 20 from ebay a couple years ago. Some work and some don't. Seems to be hit or miss with them. They were chinese and I have an Albanian SKS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
