Found these. Should I keep or toss?

Keep.
I'll buy them from you if you don't want them. They're made to quickly load magazines with 556/223 ammo.

Keep 'em! I like to store my 223 on these and then 10 clips (w/ charger) per 12ga box.

You make or buy rounds loose, those clips make them easier to cart about
We all buy them.

They really are not made to be used to many times. I have some but alot of them are missing one or both of the little tabs that keep them in the clip.

Those should work for the Blackout too.
They also work for holding, not loading, the .32 H&R Mag.

Most of you already know, but those clips are meant to be used with a clip guide to load M16 magazines As noted by many, they do well with other tasks as well. The guides were/are included with the bandoleers of ammo. The M14 also had a similar loading system, but the clip guide is integral with the rifle.

That "T" word should not be in your vocabulary....KEEP !
Never know for what use the future might have for them .
Over the years, I have either turned them in, in their thousands as dunnage, to clear the ammo document with the ASP, given them away or thrown them away. I see that they now sell well on Ebay. If I only had all of them back... I'd be rolling in dough.
Here are a few of the clips used by various militaries:
Schmidt-Ruben, Styer-Manlicher; Mosin-Nagant; M1 Carbine, Mosin-Nagant; Lee Enfield, Mauser, Springfield and the M14

The .5.56 Nato clips happen to work well with the 9x23 Steyr too. You can even load the pistol using them.
Just found 3 ammo cans full of 30 carbine ammo on clips in card board boxes and bandoleers at the FIL's the other day. He is no longer with us and his boy never remembers him having a carbine. It is all 51 LC. Now I might have to get a Carbine.
Any clips are considered "Expendable Items" by Soldiers. In my Military days, circa 1962-1966, we NEVER picked up any clip. "Save or Toss" any clip is not a Major Call. No one cared in past wars and who really cares now? "What difference does it make?"

Soldiers aren't paying $ for their ammo or clips so it doesn't matter to them. But they are putting themselves in the line of fire so I'd NEVER ask them to even consider the cost of a clip.
However...us paying folks have to save a buck anywhere we can. I keep them all. Even if I can't use them, I'd keep them to pass along to somebody that can.
