I am trying to find stripper clips for a Steyr 1900 in 30-40 Kraig. Any ideas where to go to find them.

There are some problems with your question.

Steyr did make some Krag rifles, I think for Norway in 6.5X55 caliber. I don't think they used any type of stripper clips.

Steyr never made any Krag rifles in 30-40 Krag.

There were some experimental "Parkhurst" clips made for the US Krag rifle during the 1901 - 1902 time frame. If you could find some Parkhurst items they would definately be collectors items.

May I suggest you post more information to enable determination of what your rifle actually is.

Photos, if you have the capability would be good.

Is there a box just in front of the bolt that protrudes from the right side of your rifle ?

Have Fun,

Sounds like a Steyr that someone rebarreled to 30-40.

Cheers,

If a Steyr that originally took 8X50R or 8X56R, and has been rebarreled, regular Steyr clips should work. It is an enbloc clip. Before I offer to send any though I need to make sure that is what you need. Pics or a better description are needed.
