Vietnam Era Clips/Carry-Bags

[DonMountain]

Since I am approaching the age where I am starting to think about getting rid of some of this pile of "shooting stuff" collected over the last 40 or 50 years, the question comes to mind whether I should just throw it away or try to sell it. And if I decided to try to sell it, where to do that. I have a box that is taking up too much room on a shelf that contains maybe 100 or so metal clips for 5.56 NATO rounds, probably 10 rounds each, and a similar number of brown 6 or 8 pouch bandoliers to hold them. I probably bought these army surplus sometime 30 years ago when I got the AR rifle and was so enthused. So, heave it or give it away or try to sell it is the question?

Donate or sell.

stripper clips

May I suggest you list it up in Helping Hands and have them pay for shipping.
I would do that before tossing them out

Yes, I like this idea. And yes, they are stripper clips and I am still looking for the adapter that slid onto the top of a magazine that these stripper clips fit into when charging the 20 round or 30 round magazines.

Actually I'll take that offer.

Gladly pay for postage if you are interested.

PM with payment details if your interested.

I am still looking for the clip that funnels the rounds off the 10 round stripper clips into the M-16 magazines. I have been searching through tons of old reloaded ammo that I need to shoot up, and found a few of these stripper clips in the cardboard cartons and in one of the bandoliers that I must have loaded 25 years ago. Give me a couple of days and I will continue looking and I might find some other stuff that is valuable to someone else. I don't know what I am going to do with all of these WW-II and later boxes of ammo I came across in odd foreign calibers. I would be afraid to shoot any of it due to corrosive primers in my guns. Its too cheap to shoot reloads.

No rush.

Worst case scenario I have a few of those adapters. I bought I think a thousand .223 on stripper clips in ammo cans.

What I don't have is a firearm that shoots .223 in a magazine.

My H&R Handi rifle however thinks stripper clips are the cool easy way to load one at a time at the bench. It is an older ejector model. A full 10 round stripper clip does not roll, move, or lose rounds. It is IMO just plain handy.
